"Well, today was busy! Woke up at 6:45 to shower, pack and get dressed ready for breakfast at 7:30 (it took me over 10mins to work out how to turn the shower on!). Left soon after for a jam packed day exploring the eccentric culture of Istanbul by visiting the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Underground Cistern and Hagia Sophia. Then we went out for lunch and left for Kesan after midday.
It's so surreal to experience Turkey and all it has to offer - it's something I've only ever dreamt of doing and now I'm doing it! Their culture is incredible and quite a contrast to our own Aussie vibe. We ran into the Western Australian contingent at the Hagia Sofia and got to have a chat with them which was really comforting because they are all in the same position as us. I can safely say that every single one of us feel so honoured to be where we are, and we are loving every minute of it.
Stay tuned for tomorrow which promises an even busier agenda!!"
