På resande fot v 26

Veckosammanfattning v 26 Ny vecka och nya terrordåd. Så smällde det i Istanbuls flygplats. Upptäckte det när facebookvänner som bor där placerat sig i säkerhet i den sociala mediekanalen. Man kan visst göra så numera. Annika som mellanlandade här på väg till Filippinerna har skrivit om det här. Jag tar Annikas ord och lägger till 50- talisternas standardfras ”Vart är världen på väg?” och typ ”Det var så mycket bättre förr”. Jag vet inte riktigt om jag skulle vilje byta 2010 – talets terror ökning mot Kalla kriget men tanken har ju slagit mig, att det var nog bättre då. Just nu känns det lite uppgivet och extra svårt att driva en reseblogg med fokus på inspiration, när en midsommarnattsdröm snart blev en mardröm med terrorattacken i Istanbul som ett brev på posten och plötsligt stannar livet hastigt upp. Den känslan av att livet flyter på medan jag står på sidlinjen som åskådare och inte rör mig en meter, har varit mycket närvarande under veckan även om när jag sammanfattar det har varit en av de …

Istanbul – the streets

I went a little crazy with the number of photos of Istanbul why I dedicate to posts with just photos of the streets in the city.

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul

Since photographing a mosque was new to me I took so many photos that I decided to make an own post of the photos I shot there. I come to find that I enjoy more and more shooting photos of people and that is what this post ended up being about. People, their laughter and feet.

Cruise – Izmir to Istanbul

Wednesday 17th 15.00 to Thursday 18th 16.30 Leaving Izmir the ship sails through the Aegean sea north west and along the shores of the Isle Lesbos. We later reach the strait of the Dardanells and go through the channel to the Marmara sea and continue towards Istanbul. Going through the channel, 39 nautical miles long, takes around 3 hours with MSC Magnifica. After getting back on ship in Izmir we do some sunbathing and then have dinner, salmon, greek salad and seafood pasta, and after dinner an irish coffee in the tiger bar. This bar must be the most amazing Italian place on earth with stripes and for a Swede, a bit tacky decoration a la Italian where te fraze ”a bit to much” rather is an understatement. The entire thing looks like a tiger walked into a bar and died on the floor. At 8 o’ clock Thursday we go of the ship to explore Istanbul. We start by walking to the blue mosque but not getting there until three hours of wrong directions. …

Brussels vs Istanbul. Where of to next?

I want to go to Istanbul. My boyfriend want to go to Brussels. If you could choose which city of these to to go for a weekend, which one would you choose?. Brussels with several restaurants on the guide Michelin or Istanbul, where Europe meets Asia and give you either French cooking or Meze? I know I want to go to Istanbul. The guys want to go to Brussels and have their Moule Frites and look at the peeing boy. I want to go to a Bazaar. Why is the guide Micheline so important? So everybody? What is your opinion? Brussels or Istanbul?  Katarina
