Day 34 - Amsterdam
How could I forget about our 9 hour layover in Amsterdam?
A month ago, when we laid over on the way to Turkey, it was cold and rainy in Amsterdam. We were tired from our 8 hour flight from Vancouver, and it was a fairly miserable experience that culminated in eating a horribly expensive and terrible tasting hamburger.
This time it was different. When we stepped out of the train station it was bright and sunny, and the morning still had its cool air. Not much was open for us to see and do, so we waited for a restaurant to open up for breakfast, and then we walked to a park and slept under a tree for a few hours.
It was the best layover ever, and it made it much easier to handle the long flight back to Vancouver!

Day 33 - Istanbul
Our last day in Istanbul, and the trip is nearly done. Farhad has a flight at midnight, Leah and I fly at 5am and Leila leaves at a very reasonable time of noon tomorrow.
All four of us hopped on the ferry to Heybeliada, an island just off the coast of the city. We rented some bicycles and rode around for a couple of hours through the quiet, pretty and hilly island roads.
That evening we packed up our things, said our goodbyes and caught the flight home.
