The first batch is from Istanbul.
First Night in Istanbul
A Cool Cafe in Istanbul.
The Aya Sofya. It was SO amazing!
This place that we went to had the BEST baklava ever! It was amazing!
The Entrance to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
Inside the Grand Bazaar.... after the power went out and everyone had to use generators.
We went to Bosnia last year and first heard the call to prayer there, at sunset. I think this is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.
A beautiful view of the harbor.
The most amazing fish sandwich that I've ever had in MY LIFE!!!! They actually caught the fish about 20 feet from where we ate it!
Jake and I decided to get a haircut in Turkey. Here's Jake getting a Turkish style haircut. It was quite an experience!
Bwah! I have no idea what this was about but it was cool!
The haircutter also used an old style razor! It was pretty cool! It was pretty smooth too!
Then it was my turn for the fire!
This was the final result of an almost 2 hour search for these amazing sweet treats. It was well worth the time that it took. It turns out that they were an old style treat in Turkey, which meant that they were almost impossible to find!
Next up.... Pamukkale
Nothing to really say here. I think the videos speak for themselves. You can really see how beautiful of a place this was. The water was so warm and clear. IT was a truly amazing experience!
Cappadocia.....
This was, by far, the most difficult part of the trip. It all started with a series of troublesome, and expensive bus rides. Each person we asked along the way insisted that finding a bus to our destination would be easy. However, we ended taking many buses out of our way and paying out the nose for said bus rides. It was a nightmare even trying to find a bus that would take us to a place near Cappadocia. However, afterwards the time that we spent there was quite enjoyable. I even got a chance to try doing some Yoga, which was actually pretty amazing!!
This is how our bus trip started out after we were basically stranded by the bus company.
However, things chilled out and started going a lot better.... kinda....
Here were some amazing trees that we found on the side of the road.
Goreme
Goreme again
And finally, on the way out of Cappadocia we saw this mountainside village.
This was our trip to Turkey. Hope you enjoyed the videos!
