Day 7 (Turkey)

Ahhh.... It's 6am (Turkish time) and I was up and prepared for the next journey. This time we will head back to Istanbul and it's about 450KM from Ankara. Had our breakfast and we head to Ankara's oldest city for a short visit. Next we went to see the father of Turkey, Attaturk. (I think I got name right) 'Atta' stands for father and 'turk' stands for Turkey.

Then we start our journey from Ankara to Istanbul at about 11am. Stops couple of time for lunch and also toilet breaks. We reached Istanbul at about 3.30pm and we have to rush for our cruise. We cruised along the Bosphorus Canal which is in between of the Black Sea and Sea Of Marmara. It was a nice and pleasent cruise and we got to see alot of nice and expensive house along the canal. We even pass by a palace which had been converted to a hotel and guess how much a night stay in there. It's 15K per night!

The cruise last about 45 mins only and then we head back to our hotel. It's the same hotel that we stay on the first night. Cartoon Hotel! LOL. But in a different room now. After checking in and putting in our stuff into the hotel, we head for a restaurant opposite the street for our dinner. And guess what, it's Chinese food! LOL. I would not recommend anyone to eat Chinese food there. The food sucks a million! Tasteless! Anyway, the food is on the table, we had to eat it.

After the dinner, we were allowed to walk around the area and do our shopping. Head back to hotel at about 9pm and prepare for the next day!
