well, i wanted to write about this from last week...somehow i postponed it many times...I guess today is the right time...i went to Athens and Istanbul early this month. it was partly work and partly vacation...there was lots of firsts in my life during this trip...i took my first cruise to poros, aegina and hydra island in greece. the color of the sea water...what can i say... i could just spend hours looking at the 'aqua green' which happens to be the favourite color of someone i know.
then of course the journey by train from athens to istanbul. we took a four hour train from athens to tesalonikki and then about 12 hour train to istanbul. i really enjoyed this. first time i took a train that has berths and i saw one of the most amazing sunset from the train...
first time, i tried Greek and Turkish coffee and of course the famous Turkish tea (which by the way is like our Teh-O but a very 'pekat' version of our Teh-O).
it is also the first time i tried lots and lots of Turkish delights...the sweets...it was heavenly... felt so at home when i saw all the sweet stalls...
first time we tried raki and oozu...dont think i will try them again....
of course before i forget, it was also the first time i went into a Harem...never done that before...
