Where East meets West, a city on two continents.

I was unprepared for the impact Istanbul had on me.  I love it.  It is a beautiful city set on the shores of the Bosphorous and Golden Horn.  Sitting having tea in the Topkapi Palace, watching the waters of the Bosphorous twinkle in the sunlight is just heavenly.

Much more Westernised than Cairo yet it still retains an oriental feel.  Islam does not seem as predominant a part of life.  The people are really friendly and helpful - except the taxi drivers who take you round in circles to run up the meter - so it helps to know where you are going.

This is a much more relaxed week than the Cairo holiday.  Lots of sightseeing, costume shopping and some dance shows.  Shopping for ordinary clothes is also really cheap with some fabulous shops in the newer, Taksim area.
