Istanbul & Greece part 1

 Alhamdulillah, I have reached Istanbul

I was sent at the airport by my brother at 6am. Our flight was at 10am. I found this ad on the TL's fb early in January. Right after I booked this trip, I saw an ad to Uzbekistan plak..aduhhh wishlist jugak tu. Takpe, kita focus yang ni dulu. Then as usual, I started baking like crazy again. Syukur la ada ramai yang suka makan kek. So bila buat mini pack, biasanya habis

Can you see the silhouette?

So, we flew on Emirates with transit at Dubai. Managed to catch a glimpse of the Burj when exiting the plane...huhu why didn't I request for a longer transit time? Takpe..one day I'll go there. Next, "running session" around the airport to catch the next flight to Istanbul because we had a gap of 1 1/2 hour. Gilo! Tak sempat nak window shopping. 


We arrived at Istanbul around 6pm local time. In Malaysia almost midnight. No wonder mata cam da x berapa nak buka sangat haha
Then waited for the shuttle to take us to the hotel. The hotel is around the old town and TL said all the attractions are within walking distance. We were served chai after checking in. So bitter.

The tea

The hotel-Ethnica Hotel 

After putting things in the room, some of us went out. Pegi makan je pun kat bawah tu. 3 chicken kebabs and 1 beef kebab. Tunggu pulak depa2 ni bersembang pas makan. Adui barai mata. Sebab time Malaysia dah 3 pagi oii..Balik mandi then basuh baju skit. Hahaha
