A taste of Istanbul

Today we start our 19 hour trip to London. It's a connecting flight with one layover at Istanbul.

I wonder if there's any member of the Hive community that's living in Instanbul and can come keep us company at the airport. It would be nice to make a friend while we're in transit.

I think @muratkbesiroglu is in Turkey but I don't know if he'll be in Instanbul and will also be able to keep us company at the airport. Annyway, we'll try to make the most of our time there.

Airport food tends to be very pricey and since we're quite broke, I'll not be buying anything. However, if I see something cheap to buy, I'll take a punt.

Technically, we won't be entering Istanbul since we aren't permitted to explore the city but there is a chance that we could taste their cuisine. It would be really nice to get a taste of turkey and I'd love some recommendations of some very cheap options I could try.

A bit nervous

This will be our first international flight and hopefully, the first of many to come. Even though I don't exactly like flying, it is still the safest way to travel and I've always wanted to visit different countries.

My nerves are all over the place due to the number of variables to deal with. At the end of the day though, all I can do is calm my self as we edge towards the next phase of life.

For now, we're still in Nigeria and getting ready to check in. I'll drop an update when we finally arrive at Turkey.
