Black Sea Melodies:
Sunday, another great choice by Fred Olsen! This was a 28 day cruise
making only 12 stops and 2 of these were on Sundays and one of the days
we were in Istanbul the Topkapi Palace (a major reason for going) was
closed. I have a suspicion that on these days it is cheaper to dock
because the large Cruise Lines don't want to stop at these times. Anyway,
a pleasant enough stop even though most things were shut. Not a great
deal to see in the Town but we had a pleasant walk round and (as we
love the Greek Islands so much) wanted to have lunch ashore. About the
only place we could find open was a fast food type place on the Main
Square,but we had a very pleasant lunch with ouzo and wine. We were
joined by a fellow Black Watch traveller, a lady named Mary. Retired
teacher I think, from Farnham way.
