Long 10.5 hour flight from Chicago in a cramped set. Sleeping pills helped for half of that. Good food and service though. Lots of free movie selections on seat back tv, but I didn’t watch any. Must get an aisle seat for return flight.
My hostel (private ensuite room, nice though a little dark) is close to the Blue Mosque (I can see one minaret from my window) and I’m looking forward to breakfast on the rooftop terrace which has views of the Bosphorous.
Now, first things first: a light dinner and a US-to-euro plug adapter (I forgot my multi-plug-adaptor at home, oops) or there won’t be many more blog entries!
