Not much energy left to write, but here are a bunch of pictures. One more day in Istanbul and then on to Nairobi. Finding great food and drink and lots of friendly people.
2/3 of TimB’Liz with the most famous palm tree in Istanbul — maybe all of Europe! 
Delicious Turkish Coffee 
One of the three bridges over the Bosphorus, from our night cruise 
Cool “evil eye” on our Bosphorus cruise boat 
“But not a real green dress, that’s cruel!” 
In the Hagia Sofia (pronounced Aya Sofia roughly) 
Tower of Galata 
The Leaning Tower of Galata? 
The other 2/3 of TimB’Liz was blown off the tower 
That’s one relaxed dog 
Things are looking up 
They did it! 
Missing our pups…. reminds us of Ripley

Nice. But maybe you should change the blog title to Two Bikers Abroad Without Their Bikes. Because I was expecting a lot of pics with bicycles and there aren’t any.
