Ortaköy From The Living Room

Here is a picture taken from our living-room window in Ortaköy.

Odd Spot - Those Crazy Australians!

No this isn't strange, this is the Australian tradition of morning bathing in the mud. Australians perform this ritual just after wrestling crocodiles, this is shortly followed by beer for breakfast. If one ingests sufficient beer for breakfast, one must ride his pet kangaroo to work. Thanks for your pic. Luke :)

Venues & Departures

We recently visited a beautiful restaurant that I can thoroughly recommend to anyone who just happens to be in the vicinity of Istanbul. The web site has some pictures of Istanbul that are pretty nice. Check it out: Leb-i Derya

Unfortunately we were there to see Adnan off (again), he has just taken off on a 5 week trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan, personally it's not my idea of fun but then again, Adnan is a strange guy :)
