6th October 2013 Yalova to Istanbul

The Yalova Town Centre

Great Views of the Town Square from the Karot Hotel

In the Distance is the Tangaroa in the Setur Marina Yard

The Ferry “Inkilap” has Retired to Yalova after Serving many Years carrying Passengers to and from the Holden Horn in Istanbul

The Karot Hotel in the Town Centre

We say our last Goodbyes to Tangaroa, our Home for the past 6 Months

The Ido Ferry to Yenikoy in Istanbul takes just over an Hour from Yalova

Goodbye to Yalova

The Outside Deck is a Popular Place for Photos

As we Approach Istanbul huge Cargo Ships await their turn to enter the Bosphorus

Arriving at our Hotel in Taksim, a Wedding Photographer and a Film Crew were busy by the Pool

Time to go to the Hairdresser – a short Taxi trip to the Famous Taksim Square

The Famous Istiklal Caddesi off Taksim Square

Many Thousands of People in Istiklal Avenue late this Afternoon

Back to my Favourite Kuafor in Istanbul “Baby Face” – Fulya is in Charge of the Pedicures and Manicures

Bulent worked his Magic on my Hair at Baby Face

The large Crowds had disappeared from the Famous Istiklal Avenue

It was Difficult not to Stop at this Patisserie before Returning to the Hotel
