Our last day in Istanbul! The items on our list of activities and sights were being readily checked off. We had a few museums identified for rainy days, if needed, and a biking adventure to the nearby Princes Islands. Our final day turned out to be a gloriously sunny, pleasantly warm day. We skipped the museums and went biking instead. I know, that is difficult to predict or understand. The ferry boat there stopped about four times as it visited the Asian side and then three of the islands. We got off on the largest island, found a place to rent some bikes, pedaled around the island for about an hour, and then found another place for tea and backgammon - it was a theme by this time. Now, I'm finishing the blog on the ferry boat staring out at the clear, blue Marmara Sea, surrounded by the city of Istanbul and the forested Princes Islands. It's been quite an adventure, as the over 600 pictures document. The weather has been perfect, the people friendly, and of course, my traveling companion has continued to fill my life with meaning and fun.
