Day 10

The morning is spent at the hotel buffet, showering, and discussing the itinerary for our final day in Istanbul. We ask the concierge for recommendations for shopping near the hotel and set our for a walk. The shops are within a ten minute walk from the hotel. We do some shopping and make our way back to the hotel. Today is a relaxation day. Back at the hotel we hang out in the executive lounge with a few drinks and mentally ready ourselves for tomorrows departure.

In the hotel room we begin to hear loud music from a nearby park. Warren vaguely recognizes the music. After a few songs Warren recognizes the music as Iron Maiden. It reminds us of the time in Italy when we were walking down the street of a small town and Rihanna happened to be rehearsing in a little square by the harbor. Random.

For dinner we eat at the hotel's chinese restaurant, Dragon. The food is good and there are many other tables there celebrating father's day. Happy Father's Day John and all the dads out there.

The live music show continues on till midnight which was so loud we had difficulty sleeping. This wouldn't be so bad but we must get up at 5 a.m. to ready the airplane for our departure to Cappadocia.
