Only 5 sleeps to go & then we are off to Istanbul!
There is, of course, an extensive list of 'to do's' before we fly out, but the important thing is...those list items are slowly being ticked off!
Not on the list, is illness, but as Murphy's Law would have it, I have come down with a cold, so am pumping myself with echinacea, vitamin C & anything else claiming to have an effect, in an attempt to ensure that the flight wont be too painful!!
I have borrowed yet another 'Learn Turkish' book from the library & am highly amused to find that the emphasis in the pronouncing of several words is completely different to what our DK guide says!! I wonder if this is a language where any slight variance in pronounciation communicates a whole different meaning than that intended! We will just have to wait...and see!
