It took some time to come through customs and baggage collection and once through we had somehow missed our pickup, so ended up hopping a shuttle and we are now at the Ramada, Old City, Istanbul. The most obvious thing is that it is SO much cleaner than Cairo!! It is very much like European cities in the way it presents itself, with wide roads, gardens, parks and a general lack of rubbish. We have been out for a wander and shortly we head off to meet some of the other people on our tour. There happens to be a little leather shop opposite our room, on the side of the hotel, so..............surely it would be rude not to visit?
