So we hit the ground running in Istanbul. We, well me knew that we needed a visa to enter the country! My research on the Internet, the font of all knowledge had told me this. However, it also told me it was around 10 euro a head, why then is the woman at the visa counter laughing at me? Don't believe everything you read 45 euro each please she said with a smirk. Now if we were from New Zealand we would not need a visa to visit Turkey, and if we were South African, we would need a visa but it would be free!
We got to our hotel and decided to do some washing, as I had cooked and washed up the last fee times physical labor was required, Greg was designated washer woman! The bath, some shampoo and lots of water........welcome to our Chinese laundry!
