Singapore to Istanbul, Turkey
An 11 hour flight to Istanbul which was long and tedious, but as it was a day flight Netflix and reading helped pass the time. Our seats had been changed by the airline a couple of days earlier but K managed to convince the check in staff to move us back to our original seats. This was a good move, otherwise we would have been seated in the middle of a family with a couple of whiny kids - disaster averted!
Istanbul's new airport is about an hour's drive away from the city so we chose a yellow taxi from out the front. As the driver hurtled along the freeway at 140kmh overtaking every other car we realised the back seat belts had been disabled.
We had chosen a hotel in the same tourist area we stayed at back in May 2011, a much nicer room this time though, as it was on the top floor of a small hotel with a panoramic of view over the Bosphorus where we could watch ships arriving and departing.
