***Again apologies for the delay in updating the diary because of the lack of internet on our travels***
It really was good to be back home following all our travels. We were up late as we didn’t go to bed until 2.00am!
We went and collected Rosie from Lena’s. She seems to have enjoyed the air con that they now have in the kennels (www.willenco.com) Lena said her leg has been good so that is a bonus as we left her for so long.
A day of catching up with jobs and mounds of washing but at least here it dries in 5 minutes.
For anyone who lives in the TRNC and hasn’t been to Istanbul GO!! It is a lovely city with so much to see. There are so many places to stay but we prefer to stay in Sultanahmet with so much around there.
We stayed at Erboy Hotel in Sultanahmet (www.erboyhotel.com) and they have a great restaurant serving Ottoman food, very different from Turkish (3 course dinner with 2 drinks about 90tl). If you stay at the hotel they give you a 10% off card for any of their groups restaurants. The shuttle is the cheapest way to get from Sabiha Gocken airport (10 euros). We booked the hotel through www.hotels4u.com, £105 for two nights and of course used topcashback which gave us more discount. Pegasus were the flights back from Istanbul at a cost of £23 one way.
If you want any more information then contact me and I will let you know anything more that you may want to know.

Robin rang in the afternoon and we were so pleased to hear that he is OK following his car smash on the way to his house coming from the airport see link. There doesn’t seem much to choose between Istanbul drivers and drivers in the TRNC!
