Bosporus Cruise

We spent the day cruising the Bosporus Straights.  I’ve worked ona project a few times which was dependent on the Bosporus, so I've always wanted to see them first-hand.  What a crowded place this Bosporus Straights is.
The elapsed duration of the cruise (really a Governement Ferry, but they call it cruise, so I will too) is 6 hours, but it’s only about 90 minutes from one end of the Straights to the other.  We had a 3 hour lunch break at a town on the Black Sea on the Asia side.  It was Diane’s first trip to Asia.  After lunch we hiked up to a castle to take in the view of the Black Sea. 

I gotta head back to the room.  Tomorrow morning we head back to the airport to fly out to Izmir for a couple of days.  We are going there to visit the ancient Greek/Roman city of Ephesus.

Though I love the photographs of the architecture and the scenery, it was great to see your smiling faces on your blog.
Can't wait to hear about your adventures in Izmir!
