We have arrived

---

We have made it and all is well, however this computer is very old so no pictures yet. I must be quick as we just had a power failure and the power is from a generator. We are staying in the heart of old Istanbul - extremely beautiful. We looked at the blue mosque during dinner. Dinner tonight was great - flavours were amazing. Our hotel is very nice and the people are wonderful.
The power is out because of the rain storm.
Tomorrow we tour the city - we are very excited and wish all of you were here to share with us. We shall write more when we know the power is safe and I find a better computer.
