We visited Amsterdam after our stop in London. We saw the much talked about canals, museums and bicycles, bicycles and bicycles. Our guide said, the canals of Amsterdam are 18 feet deep on the average. It comprises of 4 feet of water, 6 feet of mud and 8 feet of bicycles ! But what gave me greatest pleasure were the country side and villages situated by the lakes and seaside towns. Tranquil and calm, and those trademark windmills were sights to behold. And the varieties of cheese, of course.

Istanbul, Turkey Part 1



We spent 3 days in Istanbul after Eskisehir. As most tourists would do, we visited the mosques, churches, cruised the Bosphorus and the food were wonderful. Perhaps, the videos may help to get an insight of this wonderful country.......( I may do an injustice should I try to write on Istanbul and Turkey ! )

Istanbul, Turkey Part 2



More on Istanbul......
One thing for sure, my better half and I have decided to come again to Turkey provided we can somehow have the funds to do so.
