Vacation to Turkey Day 2 (Canakkale to Kusadasi):

Visiting the ancient city of Pergamon & acropolis and Troy.

Pagi pagi dah semangat gila....lol. Enjoying the cold outside the hotel

Ancient City of Pergamon - its on a hill. Very Pretty

LOVE IT LOTS!

This used to be a temple dedicated to Zeus (up)

TADAA~!

Ancient City of Troy

Supposedly the famous Torjan Horse

Okay, it's a short post I know... it's only a fraction of a fraction of the pictures I have on day 2 . But cukup la... post too many pictures pun not nice. Lain2 boleh didapati kat facebook or just come over to my place to tengok all the gazilion pics la. Also sorry for the very short explanations. I can yakk non-stop bout the places (and be the next tour guide - cheh!) but too much to type la. Wanna know more then just wikipedia la or ask me personally. :P

Till the next post. Have a nice day and God bless! :D

Okay, maaf la.... I've been tangguh-ing my blogging again cause days are just to short, lazy and sometimes busy. Have been hanging out at Mdm Yiang's place for the past couple of days and it was just great. Had a 7 hour shopping spree in Times Square and Sungai Wang. Bought my CNY clothes and ate non-stop there. Spend the night yakking away with Mdm Yiang in her room - it was so comfy and cozy (I so wanna sleep over again, lol) :P

Watched Twilight again. :D :D :D with my two crazy buddies - who were crazy enough to do so after expressing much loathing towards the movie. I just love Twilight. I can't believe I read it 5 times! New Moon - 3 times and Midnight's Sun partial draft 4 times!! Okay, so I admit maybe I am a little sick la....haha. I am terribly devastated that I can't seem to get my hands on Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. It's sold out everywhere!!!! Ggggrrr... sabar la....

Okay, guess I'll blog about my 2nd day in Turkey then (new post)...

Have a nice day - God bless! :D

Dafodils along my high way....

Okay, sorry again for the absence. As stated before Dec 08 was a busy month for me. My Fraser's Hill trip was fine (probaly won't blog about it but pics will be uploaded in Facebook la - hopefully) and not long after I came back, I stayed over at Jenny's for a couple of days (explains the absence) before she flies off to US. So now I am back and chilled. And am in leisure to blog about my Turkey trip. I won't post that many pictures here as most of them are available on Facebook (actually only a fraction there - with 800+ pics - I had scrutinize every choice before uploading - end up only uploading less than 200 pics) and kalau nak tengok more, come to my house je la. :P

Day 1 of tour in Turkey (Istanbul and Canakkale):
Visited the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Haghia Sophia (San Sophia Church). Later on procedeed to Canakkale by ferry.

Temperature outside: 5 degrees

Arrival in Istanbul - Atarturk Airport

First picture outside the airport -in the bus-

Jalan raya dia orang...

The famous Blue Mosque

Their common walking road - macam Europe. Not pleasant to walk on for people with small feet (macam aku)

The Obelisk of Theodosius

Blue Mosque courtyard

Cantik la....

Inside the Blue Mosque - prayer hall - had to tanggal kasut. The reason it was called the Blue Mosque was because the glass windows were blue and when the sun light came in, it made the mosque look blue (from within).

Way to Topkapi Palace - I just love the trees.

Background: Topkapi Palace. This is their common snack kat the jalan - some kind of bread - macam kita orang punya pretzel.

Blue Mosque again

It was a nice walk to Topkapi Palace

Lovely view of the East and West of Istanbul. We were in the East side (European) and the West - across the sea - is the Asian side.

Love this pic

Their street cats are really big, fat, fluffy and voluptuous!! Macam our home cats...

Inside San Sophia church (which was later turned into a mosque and later into a museum)

Love the interior

Preservation going on...

In the eveing we headed on to Canakkale - after a 3 hour coach ride (we spend more of our tour coaching - travelled almost half the country - Turkey is big!) in a big ferry - which was FREEZING outside. But I loved it! Muahahah!

This is the famous Turkish tea called 'chai'. All their tea cups look like that and their apple tea is good too.

*******

Okay, I gotta stop here. More to come on day 2 of tour. Actually banyak yang I can talk bout my vacation in Turkey - experience, people, culture, language, lifestyle, history etc.- but malas to blog panjang2. If ya wanna hear more, just let me know - I can yakk non-stop about it to ya! :D

Hehehe... okies have a HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR ya!

Lotsa love and God bless!

*hugs*

Snowflakes on my eyelashes....

The Potato apologises for the lack of updates. She has been unwell for the past week and really busy with Christmas preparations. I'm sorry to say that the Turkey trip will not be updated so soon as I shall again be away to Fraser's Hill tomorrow for another family vacation. :)

Hence, sabar la ya...hehe.

I hope you had a blessed Christmas and may the new year be filled with joys and blessings. Lotsa love to you and God bless. :)

And let's forget the true meaning of Christmas which is the birth of Christ.

Let us rejoice that the Lord has send us a saviour! :D
