Istanbul: Episode Three

Not forgetting that Turkey has borders with Iran and Iraq, I was hesitant to walk through the entrance of the hotel with metal detectors and strict security measures.

But for some reason there is a certain sense of calmness about the place.

A serenity that of course cannot be explained and is further mystified by the mosque calls five times a day. Coupled with the ever-audible seagull calls, it is a magical place.

And in the words of Forest Gump, “that’s all I have to say about that.”
