Arnavutkoy to Istanbul



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.
