A long walk to Istanbul
Submitted by ieuandolby on 2008-07-16 08:00:17 (via seamania.blogspot.com)
Turkey somehow manages to combine religious divide to the extent that all live in harmony! As I set off on a 17 KM trek to Istanbul I saw life, not as a tourist but as an accepted observer to a society that could show Europe plenty on how to live without constant squabling!

Hi Roxy - Believe me I crawled the last mile or so back to the hotel! Just about midday I started to look for taxis but I resisted!
