Turkey Day one

Sorry pıctures will have to come later.

We arrıved in Istanbul about 7:40, vısa was just a matter of handing over $20. Passport contro also very easy, they took vbery little tıme wıth us. No customs checks, just walked right through. Driver was waiting for us he wasn't from the hotel I knew because when we got close he had to ask where it was. He literally flew ınto the city Shin checked his speed at one point and said he was going about 130 km. We arrived at the hotel by 8:45. Got settled in and went out for a short walk. We were just a few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. Both of which were lit up. We walked around taking a few pictures, and were back to the hotel by 10:30.

Interestıng aside all the elevators that we have encountered here have doors that when you stop at your floor you have to push open yourself. When we first went up we stood inside waiting for the doors to open and they dıdn't, then the lights went out. Then the hotel staff person came a opened the door for us. This one had doors that opened on the insıde, but we have encountered some that don't.
