Well, we made it! We arrived at our hotel in Istanbul at about noon today. We are in a city of 22,000,000 and we only saw one other bicycle on our 22 mile journey today. Perhaps that gives you a hint you how well the local population is acclimated to bicycles. Nevertheless, we persevered and completed our journey successfully. After 2600 miles and 8 weeks of cycling, we are even one day ahead of schedule. Also, I need to credit my bike tires by telling you that I completed the adventure without a flat tire.
We have a couple of things left to do, the most important of which is boxing up our bicycles for our flight home on Sunday. In the meantime, we have a few tours and adventures in Istanbul.
