Travelling day! I wonder just how many times I have made this same journey?! Far too many and it doesn’t get any easier, in fact worse because now we have to change planes in Istanbul.
Torin dropped us off at the airport. It is now £3.50 if you drop off at the front of the terminal and if you stay there over 15 minutes then it is £25!!!! We discovered if you go to the Mid Stay, you get an hour free. It is then a very short bus ride to the terminal.
There was a new shop at Stansted, Hema. It was a little like Ikea without the furniture! On the flight to Istanbul we had fish and chips. That was a first! It was a really good flight to Istanbul as the plane wasn’t even half full so plenty of room to spread around.
The last photo is of 15 Temmuz Şehitler Köprüsü (15 July Martyrs Bridge) which crosses the Bosphorus in Istanbul.
It was nice to feel the heat as we got off the plane! We booked a car with Acmenya and they collect us from the airport, this time in quite a flashy Mercedes and then we collect our car from the office on the way past. This time the driver drove past the office. We told him we wanted the car and he told us “tomorrow”. We told him no we want it now. Well, he phoned someone, took us half way up our drive and emptied the cases out of the car. We have a very steep drive and so it wasn’t easy getting them the rest of the way to the house. He lost his tip at this point!
We started to unpack and then noticed someone had dropped the car off at the top of the drive. An automatic Focus. We asked for a manual Fiesta!
We had a quick look at emails only to discover our estate agent and David have had a falling out! We opened a bottle of wine and sat by the pool! It was 2 am when we finally went to bed. It is always such a long day.
Thought for the Day – “You should never regret anything in life. If it’s good it’s wonderful. If it’s bad it’s experience.”
