Arrived Istanbul

Early bus from Canakkale , although about 340km to Istanbul trip expected to take 6 hours.
First ferry to cross Dardanelles then off we set , roads very good, duel carriage way after first 50km.
Became more built up the nearer we got to Istanbul.


garden gnome anyone





young boy selling bananas in the traffic jam, we took a long time to get through the toll booth

a few kms further along a guy selling the Turkish and we to bagels

Then we got to the largest bus station on the planet. General Chaos was in charge and doing a great job. Took us over half an hour to get to where we could get off. Change to a small mini bus then another hair raising trip to somewhere a bit more central, next a taxi , finally our hotel, gorgeous, more about it next blog.
