OK, this is gonna be nuts! I'm headed to Turkey / Istanbul this Friday for 2 weeks and can barely sleep thinking about how much there is to see and do there. Not looking forward to the 18 hours of seat time but if you have an easier way to get there, let me know.
I'll be staying with a friend of mine that lives there with her family. She is right in central Istanbul. She is part of the British Consulate and usually ends up in amazing places like this so it is great to get invited to see the new digs.
So far the agenda look like this:
1) see some the the hundreds of cool Mosques: the Hagia Sophia, the Sehzade and the Faith Mosques
2) the under ground ruins - cities upon cities!
3) bad ass sultan's palaces - can't see that in the US (except maybe in D.C.)
4) Byzantium walls
5) amazing aqueducts
6) the underground cities of Cappadocia
Got to do:
Turkish coffee
Turkish bath
Hookah
FOOD!
