Goodbye Turkey, Hello Malta! (Post #50)

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Hi friends,

Mike and I are both using the computers right now here in one of the few shops open today in Valletta, Malta. Why are we in Malta? Why is this one of the few shops open today (Wednesday, September 21st)? All good questions that I will answer shortly. By the way, this is Michele writing.

Istanbul, Turkey (Post #49)

Sunday, September 18th, 2005

Today is Sunday, September 18th and we arrived in Turkey on the night of September 14th. We took a 12 hour bus ride that day from central Turkey to Istanbul and arrived at about 9:oopm at the huge otogar (bus station). We were told there would be a minibus to Sultanahmet, the area where we were staying in Istanbul. Well, turns out there was no minibus but there was a minibus to a tram/metro station near Sultanahmet. A nice guy who spoke some English told us when to get off the bus and there we stood with a metro and a tram station on either side of us and no idea what we were supposed to do from there. We looked around for a ticket booth but didn’t see one and of course no one spoke English so we got out our guide book and it was confusing as to what we were supposed to do to get to Sultanahmet.
