More from Istanbul

In fact I am in an internet cafe in Odessa Ukraine. Had a great time exporing the city and Phil is having a bit of down time so I thought I would blog for a bit. Funny keyboard and the order of the photos is muddled but you will probably get the drift. The main thin is that we are havng a really good time. The ship is just delightful - such luxury that I feel guilty. The ports are interesting but not WOW!!!! Yesterday was Varna in Bulgaria - and tomorrow we sail to Sevastapol. But it is just so lovely relaxing and enjoying varied company and fabulous food.

This is for Kimberley - the local women wash their fleece and let in dry on the parks. By the way, Congrats on the new job!!!

We climbed this tower on Monday - the first 7 levels had a lift - great views over Istanbul fro the top. Ginny was very brave and came too.
