At our layover in Istanbul, we found the transfer
much easier than anticipated because we were not changing airlines and that
meant we didn’t have to go through customs or worry about luggage since it was
already checked through to Vienna.
That left us free to grab some food and explore the “Duty
Free Bazarre”. I found some great
presents for everyone. Charles is
pretty good at money exchange so I drove him crazy asking how much things were
in US Dollars. We wanted to mail postcards to Brazil and the US and since there
was no post office or stamps available, Charles tried to talk the cashier into
letting him give him some money and mail them for us. He didn’t want to though and I’m sure as soon
as we walked away, he muttered to himself about Crazy Americans.
We had some delicious coffee and a couple of
pastries since the airline was feeding us pretty well. We had the long haul leg of the trip behind us and we were really looking forward to getting to Vienna. Not only because we were completely exhausted but because we were so excited to start exploring.
On the plane to Vienna, there was a Turkish Business man reading his paper and I was peeking over his shoulder at it. When we got off the plane I asked him if I could have it and he answered me in the English that I could. Look! It's all about the Clinton vs. Trump campaign in the US.
