Nov 2/09 Istanbul day 2.

We headed up to the rooftop terrace for breakfast. It is a lovely spot with a great view. A plentiful breakfast of breads, biscuits, cookies, fruit, cereal, cheese, meats, olives, juices and wonderful coffee.
We enjoyed the sunshine while watching it rain.
After breakfast it stopped raining and we went out for a walk.
Checked out and took a cab to the ship.
We were on board the Jade by noon. We walked around exploring and grabbing a bite to eat.
Speaking of eating – Something I had the night before was not agreeing with me and I didn't feel like venturing too far so stayed on board today.
Our room was ready by 2pm and our luggage was there by 3pm. We unpacked and settled in to our cute little cabin. We then went up to the card room for a nice window view of the city (it started raining just as we were boarding) We played cards and trivia. My ears had been bothering me since the flight yesterday and they finally cleared while we were laughing. My head feels so much better!
We met David & Carol for dinner at the buffet and then Carleigh and I went to play group trivia (we didn't win) and then went to see the welcome aboard show. Then back to the room to relax and work on this blog.
Tomorrow – getting up early to sightsee/shop before we set sail at 2pm!

WILL POST PHOTOS TOMORROW

  1. Travelling is an adventure, isn't it?

    Can't wait for those pics! And I hope they're not all from the inside of stores!

    Love Wayne

  2. It all sounds wonderfully exciting! And I would be thrilled to see the inside of the stores (as well as the outside and the content of your shopping bags! :)). Staying tuned! - Nancy
