Pack Your Bags, We're going on a Guilt Trip!
24 hours of travelling from the BVI to NYC to Istanbul. Ferry, planes, train and taxi and we end up in Asia Minor.
The Republic of Turkey has many redeeming features. Istanbul not being the least of them. Straddling the Bosporus this city of 17 million connects the West with the East. The seat of power of over five centuries of Ottoman rule is located here on the shores of the Golden Horn. So easy and safe to explore. The stunning architecture of the Blue Mosque, the magnificence of the Topkapi Palace and the enormity of the Grand Bazaar all add to the charm of Istanbul.
