aaahhhh the last day in Turkey … We walked around a bit and then found Estee a new wallet after hers got knicked yesterday. That took a little while as well as talking to the nice policeman about the wallet.
Lunch was then had in the Sultanamet area of Istanbul which was very nice with the sun coming down on us as we ate. After lunch we were going to keep walking around for a bit but decided to head back to the hotel, get a taksi and head to the airport. It was probably the best thing to do really as we had time to relax in the airport over one of the most expensive cups of coffee you could get in your life. 8YTL … the same in AUD!
The flight on the plane wasn’t too bad except they played the same movie that we saw on the way across so we weren’t really interested in seeing the movie again within the week. What was the movie? Pursuit of Happiness. It isn’t a bad movie just can’t watch it twice in quick succession. One thing has to be said the plane pushed away from the gate on time and we were off. Unlike other places / airlines.
Took about 3.5hours to get back to Heathrow which wasn’t too bad considering. So we were back at about 09:20 and then the quick dash from the plane to customs … ok it is heathrow so it isn’t all that quick to get from the gate to customs. Estee was freaking out a bit on the way as she is acustomed to being stopped and interogated as she comes into the country. Today though she was fortunate and got through without any grief. All was good. Even the luggage came out quickly it was amazing and then we were off to the Heathrow Express to London before getting the tube to Victoria and then a South Eastern train to Margate. We were pretty well stuffed …. although we had to negotiate the bus ride at the end as well as they were working on the track.
We eventually got home at about 0030 UK time which felt more like 0230 which was the time in Turkey and we were stuffed. Thank god for Sundays …..
