Day 21: 24th June. Istanbul

Our stay in Istanbul was simply too short for what we wanted to do: soak in the city in a week.
We'll be back there soon enough and will make sure we cover the rest of the country too.
I have been in Turkey for a total of 25 days in the past one year, but the rest of the team shares my sentiments: It's so lovely, we'll just have to come back for more!

Great food, great people, and fabulous history and sights.









And, our last view of this great city, once the capital of four different empires in countless different eras.


The end of our trip had drawn to a conclusive but meaningful conclusion. We have traversed the continent of Europe overland from Belgium to the European tip of the Bosphorus in Istanbul.

Look out for our exhibition coming up in July 2005 at the National Museum, Singapore. Our opening is on the 8th of July, 2005; and the guest-of-honour is the Ambassador of Hungary to Singapore, His Excellency Dr Gyorgy Nanovfszky.

Our upcoming trip next year will cover the south- north axis of the European continent. Hopefully, we'll have more fun, more time, and more photos!
