Our next stop was Istanbul, Turkey. It was an exotic port, with Sultan Palaces, Harem quarters, and the oldest biggest Church around. The Hagia Sofia is 1,500 years old. It used to be a Christian Church , but is now a Mosque/Museum. We have some of the pictures from that area we will post later as internet time here is slow and costly. We also visited the Grand Bazaar, they had lots of Turkish Rugs, spices and Turkish Delight!!!
Our next Port Myconos Greece, stopping in the Greek Isles was canceled due to high winds. The captian did not feel it was safe to enter the port. We were outside and when he began to turn the ship. The wind was so very strong!! It even blew a deck chair up in the air about to go over the 4 foot retaining wall. The pool water was sloshing all around, pretty exciting. Yet we were glad it wasn't any worse.
We are going to Naples next, and have enjoyed two nice relaxing days at Sea. Gaining weight with the excellent meals, and just really enjoying our time.
