This morning will be a guided walking tour of some of the local sites in Istanbul, I got downstairs after waking, showering and skipping breakfast as I'm still trying to get over this flu and needed the extra sleep, can't really speak much today as my throat is really sore when I talk. Upon arriving downstairs I found that Te tour was going to be a few hours and we weren't likely to stop for a break at all, it's coincidently the first day of Ramadan which means t...

Another long day of travel, but by now 5 hours actually doesn't seem that long, especially when we aren't the ones driving, today we head from Gallipoli to Istanbul. We will also get Conner and Imogen back today who will be flying back from Egypt. After a long day of driving we arrived in Istanbul.

I skipped breakfast this morning as I wasn't feeling hungry and felt it better that I rest as much as possible. We made a few stops along the way for the toilet breaks and compulsory rest time Ronnie is required to take, but it gave us time to ...

Heading to Meteora today, not really sure what to expect, although I have heard it is place on top on the cliffs of Thessaly that inspired the setting for Game of Thrones' Eyrie of the Vale of the House of Arryn, as well as having some of the last six remaining 14th century monasteries (out of 24). It'll be about a 4 or 5 hour drive there today, so another half day on the coach before we will reach Meteora We had a little bit of a sleep in this morning, with not ...
