We have recently returned from my '
lifelong cruise' overseas - Europe River Cruising 27 Apr to 11 May.
I had the luxurious experience of a river cruise through five
countries: between Budapest and Amsterdam, traveling along the
Danube, the Main and the Rhine rivers.
However we were in Turkey for the first
leg of our trip – Istanbul and Gallipoli Peninsula from 21-26
April 2012. We spent time in Turkey for the Anzac Day celebrations
which was a huge highlight for Dave.
Whilst in Istanbul we saw the regular
sights, mainly mosques - the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the
Pasha Mosque. We also enjoyed a river cruise along the Brosphorous
River ( a narrow strait forming a boundary between Europe and Asia)
There were public holidays on at the time so the streets were
particularly crowded, if you can imagine visiting a spice bazaar - it
was packed!
