Istanbul Monday

Had a good flight from Heathrow to Istanbul and landed safely after 3 hours 15 mins.
We were met at the airport by Funda and Enjy two Turkish teachers.
The Germans were also there waiting for us to arrive so that we could all be taken to the hotel Princess Marin by the schools mini bus.
We were picked up at 7 o clock and taken to a restaurant for a typical Turkish meal where course after course after course kept beıng served to us. It was a fabulous meal and the restaurant was in the Turkish ottoman style. Everyone was friendly and we got on very well together.
At 10.30 we were taken back to the hotel where we retired to bed after a very long day.
Sandra looked like the queen of Sheba in her Turkish put me up bed.
Love Jan, Sandra and Dawn (the Calendar Girls)
