My traveling companions in Turkey…

No, this is NOT Paul…
THIS is my wife, Carolyn…
The chair belongs to a restaurant in Terminal 3 at Dubai Airport
The new couple…
Kwandhare and his fiancee, Mischka…
And my Samsonite suitcase at the airport in Istanbul

A couple of the security guards at the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul
get to meet my hares.

Taking a break while I take pictures.

Time for a drink…

I will pay for this…

Once again the rain caught us at the Hagia Sophia.

Inside the Blue Mosque.

Hares in his hair…
One of the waiters at “Cheese” in Istanbul.

Our favourite building in Istanbul.
Hagia Sophia.

We bought a carpet from Mesut…
and he too got to meet Mischka

Mischka spend a day shopping.
This was one of her purchases…

Carolyn in the Underground City

The building in the background is carved entirely out of soft rock!
Truly amazing

Carolyn enjoying some of the rock formations near Cappadocia

This is Chez Galip
He has a hair museum…I have Hares…meeting!
He is an internationally acclaimed potter and we got to visit his studio,
and purchase one of his “collectors” pieces.

Food. glorious food.
Along the shores of the Bosphorus River in Istanbul.
Street food at its best.

One of the best counter agent we have ever dealt with.
He even gave our luggage “PRIORITY” status.
Did not help mine as it was left behind in Dubai on our return leg.
All credit to Emirates staff in Johannesburg,
they got it delivered to my door just a few hours later.

We met Lyn in Istanbul,
and she ended up seated next us us on the flight from Turkey to Dubai.
A great conversationalist…and of course, she got to meet the hares.
