Day
10 – Saturday, September 3, 2011 – Istanbul
We
arrived back in Istanbul around 7am, and took a ferry from the Asian side back
to the docks on the European side. The six of us walked back to the Istanbul
hostel where we dropped our backpacks with the bags we had left there earlier
in the week. The boys and girls split up, and the boys went off to have a
straight razor shave while the girls did a little exploring and shopping. The
boys had a great time, and the girls were successful in all the things we were
still looking for. We met back up at the hostel, and took the shuttle back to
the airport. After a short delay, we were on the plane (beautiful and new) and
headed back to Tel Aviv. This time, we were on a plane with a 2-4-2 setup, so
each of us was able to sit alone with our significant other. The entertainment
system was also fantastic and, because of the plane type, also included a
channel where you could view cameras placed on the front and tail of the plane,
as well as a USB connection where we could charge our iPods and iPhones, which
was great. Again, the service was great with a wonderful meal and drinks
(however as each of the three guys ordered scotch, the attendant rolled her
eyes), and Sarah passed the time by watching Water for Elephants on my personal
entertainment system. While it was nice to come back to Israel, our trip to
Turkey was a fantastic 10 days. Definitely an epic adventure.
