#127 - Efes Dark (Turkish) - What a day of travel. Started in a car ride from Bran to Bucharest Airport at 1145am. It is nice to see that the Bruce highway is not the only major highway in the world which has only one lane each way. Plus it does what the Brucey does and goes through towns and slows right down. I don't feel so homesick now. Hehe. It was 36 degrees in Bucharest...hot. Then plane to Istanbul was an hour late, then the passport line at Sabiha airport. Wowsers that was a line. It snaked around the whole hall in the passport check section. It went out, then in and back around and out again. Then we caught bus to Takism Square and then taxi to accommodation arriving at 10:30pm....10 hours of travel. On arrival we were pampered with tea, cake and figs, given a little bag and wrist braclet. Very nice. Plus we have a view of the Hagia Sofia. It is a good spot to continue to pretend I am Robert Langdon from Dan Browns Inferno. I have been to Florence and Venice and now in Istanbul. If I am Robert that would make Bek the chick who back stabs him in the book; sounds about right...haha (forgot to say...spoiler alert, but I think I am the only one who reads my blog and I know I have read the book so I figure I didn't need to). Interesting fact is that when we landed in Istanbul we were in Asia and when we arrived at our accommodation in Istanbul we were in Europe again....does this mean I need to change the blog name to Carbs 4 Europe and 2 hours in Asia in a passport check line?
