Where East meets west

We made it...we were supposed to connect to Munich via Toronto and then Istanbul, however, our flight was delayed to Munich and as such we could not get our flight to Istanbul. So we went directly to the AC counter where they told us (between conversations about how much they hate their jobs) that we would just have to go to Munich and then deal with it there. "That how it work with AC". To me that was not a reasonable answer and surely there was another flights earlier through another German town that would allow us to get to Istanbul. She left us..."I'm going on break now...." with a very helpful gentleman would went out of his way to make sure that we got to Istanbul.....and so did our bags, much to our surprise.


We are pretty tired having been up since 3am...our hotel is wonderful (pictures to be posted..I did forget one thing)...and we went for a nice walk this evening to Taksim square a pedestrian shopping and restaurant area. We had traditional tea and played some backgammon and then eat some food from a street vendor...I had the McGurggles but am feeling better now.


Off to bed..more to follow tomorrow..Picture uploading failed..doh..
