Well rested, we set out today to reach Turkeys historic capital Istanbul and to take advantage of some well deserved rest days!!!


Traffic beginning to look heavy


Vrooommm!!!!!!!!


Exactly what we expected...chaotic traffic


Brian feels a hamstring strain so decides to give it a rest


We are here....yahoo!!!!!!!!! - Reaching the ferry crossing


All a board!


All aboard - Mounting the Ferry


I think we are going to enjoy Istanbul


Betty, Sally and Roxanne....


Mike and Paul help push this stalled car off the ferry....We are serious gentlemen us!!!

We reach the central regions of Istanbul. For the next week Mike will chill out in beautiful Istanbul with Joanne. Brian and Paul will take about 2-3 days rest and then head onto the Turkish/Greek Border. For tonight we (Brian and Paul) have organised a couchsurf with a Turkish student named Hakan living in the Levent region of Istanbul....Noice!!!!!

Until later...
