Seth and John spend the morning planning the next phase of their trip. At noon we head off for kebabs and the 1:30 cruise down the Bosperhous River. It is a relaxing cruise where we sit and watch the shoreline of mosques, palaces, and million dollar homes (French Beroque style) and restaurants from the boat. We cruise under both bridges arriving at a small fishing town where we have another fabulous salad. It is sunny and the views are breathtaking.
We walk back to our apartment and I pack to return the next day to Seattle where John and Seth plan their next adventure to Cappadoccia. We have another lovely dinner and afterwards Seth and I head for a restaurant that is said to have the best baklava in the city. Surprisingly at midnight it is packed with families and people who have their tables piled high with baklavia. My favorite is the chocolate baklava. We fill a box full of different sorts of baklavia for me to bring home to friends. Back to my hotel, hoping I will wake up at 2:30 to catch my 3:00 am taxi to the airport. I hate to leave this wonderful country and am more than a little envious of trip Seth and John are about to take.
