After a long layover in Madrid I boarded yet another plane bound for Istanbul, my penultimate destinatıon. The flıght was absolutely beautiful and I tried very hard to stay awake until we landed. We flew over Naples, where the white homes shined brightly from the sky, then Italy, Greece, and numerous Greek Islands before landing in Istanbul. I was very tired at this point having been in the air for more than seventeen hours with another five hours in airports, but I was so excited to finally join my friends in Bodrum!
Istanbul looks really cool from the air and again, I wish I had a bit of free time to spend in the city, but Istanbul will have to wait for another day. The customs office was remarkably efficient; I was processed in under fifteen minutes. Indeed, they were the fastest stampers between east and west!
