Istanbul (not Constantinople!!)

-

 


Mama: Travel day! We are on our way to meet Papa in Croatia and decided to do a stop over in Istanbul! Makes sense, right?! I really don’t do a lot of planning in regards to these things! Apparently the Bazaar is an hour away from the airport. So, there may be more of a time crunch than I was expecting! 😬

Bud: The Istanbul airport was super big! It had a giant escalator! We had a hard time finding the Yotel entrance. Thankfully someone posted a photo on Google maps!! 

Bun: Good by steaming hot Marrakech! I was happy to leave and go to Istanbul. The Yotel had a giant sign but the entrance was faaaaaaaar away from it! But the hotel was nice and we went to bed.

The Eye of the Earth!

  Mama: Good-bye Korčula! We packed up the car and plotted the road to the Eye of the Earth - a really cool freshwater spring - at Bud’s request. And after one ferry, two giant bridges, seven u-turns and 200 km, we arrived! It was really cool. And really cold!! It was unexpected, but was probably 5 C! We checked it out and then split for Split! (Great mama joke!) Papa: Google maps has not perfected Croatia. The highways were great, but as soon as you exited, all bets were off! The eye was cool, but definitely needed a drone. It was nice to get to Split. We arrived and unloaded and then found a delicious Indian restaurant in the old town.  Bud: It was a really long and tiring car drive, but it was worth it to see the eye! We don’t know why, but the spring was really cold! Colder than the hotel pool. We weren’t allowed to swim in the spring, but I don’t know if we would have anyway. It was that cold! It was nice to get to our hotel in Split.  Bun: It was a long day in the c...

Rome then Home!

Mama: We packed up and said good bye to Croatia! The flight was quick and on time. We landed in almost 40 degree heat! It cooled down a tiny bit and we walked for pizza and a quick look at the Colosseum! Kinda bonkers.  Papa: We can see the Colosseum from the hotel. That’s pretty cool.  Bud: I’m excited to something new! The Colosseum is pretty crazy. I can’t wait to see inside.  Bun: Going to Rome is super exciting because one of my friends did her expository on Rome and she was right! I love it in Rome, even though it’s hot 🥵.

“Hiking in the foothills of mount Tibidabo...”

Mama: Clearly Joey Tribbiani has never been to the foothills of mount Tibidabo. We decided to hike instead of take the funicular. It was supposed to be 20 minutes, but with the unmarked path and useless Google directions, it was closer to 90!! But there was some stunning views. We went to the Tibidabo Amusement Park and then home to get ready to leave.  Bud: I got to go on the bumper cars! And we got to hike up a mountain and we got candy. The bumper cars were so fun! Bun: We got to go on Farris wheel. It was so fun! We even got to go on a merry go round. Me and daddy did a bubble hairdo for Bud!
