Well we finally have arrived at our final stop....Istanbul, Turkey! We will go into Istanbul today and sleep on the ship tonight but then tomorrow we will stay at a hostel and spend an extra day in Turkey before we have to return to normal life.
Istanbul is an incredible place. We walked around the city and seen some of the more popular sites. We went to some mosques, the most popular being the Blue Mosque and then we found a street vendor who offered us a river tour. We had nothing to lose so we went and it was worth every second. The tour took us down the river and we were able to see the large buildings and homes along the riverside. We also made a stop to go ashore and have the most amazing pastries ever. After having the pastries our tour guide took us to show us a delicacy that they have there. Josh and Brian even ate the delicacy and founf it very tasteful...........for the first few minutes and then simultaneously they both got this horrific look on their face and began to gag. Come to find out the treat was cooked pig intestines and apparently it goes from tasty to disgusting!! It was very funny to watch them both run to find a place to vomit and spit!
Tomorrow we are going to head Back into Istanbul to see more sites and go the the Bazaar. Can't wait!
