Istanbul

The last trip of a series in the month of may with Mc. We flew from Paris down to Istanbul for a few days. We staid in the old Istanbul between the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. We had a great little terasse with view on the Bosphore for breakfast. Then visited the palaces, the mosques, the orient express train station, a cruise on the Bosphore, shoped at the markets and then on the last day went to Asia crossing the Marmara sea to Yelova. Trip with amazing historic and cultural acquired knowledge.

Basque Country

When Mc got to France a month ago, we left for a little road trip to les Pyrénées-Atlantiques. We booked a sweet little hotel in Bayonne while Ben crashed at a friend of his, owner of la Bogetta Chez Gilles.

So we met many of Ben's entourage back in the day's when he was spending summers and holidays opening oysters in Biarritz. We visited Biarritz, Bayonne, Anglet, St-Jean-de-Luz on the France side and Handaye and San Sebastian on the Spanish side. We surfed in Anglet and climbed la Rhune with a great view on the Spain/France border. Great week-end that ended with dinner in Tour in the Loire department.
