My mom, the travel journalist

Here's my mom, the travel jounalist at work again :) She jots down everything that she sees here and is often busy scribbling away, even when she was in the coach to west black sea over the weekend.

Hi hi jules, yea I try to update whenever I have internet access and if I'm not too tired. The network tonight seems a bit slow and unstable...not sure if I wanna blog. It's 1.35am now and my eyes are half opened :P

Briefly, we visited the old Istanbul city yesterday and went for the Bosphorus cruise today. Old istanbul city has many historical and cultural things to see but we only managed to cover the spice bazaar, blue mosque and hagia sophia. We'll be travelling on our own tmr to the old city again but our aim is just to cover the grand bazaar. The rest will have to wait till after our Greece trip.

As for the Bosphorus cruise, it was a 4.5hr affair of which 1.5hr was lunch on land. Shall go into greater details when I blog the next time.

Karen is still having some aches now and then. Her butt just got cramp when we were strolling by the beach earlier :P Good that she remembered to bring ko-yeok here as it really helped ease her pain.
