Student Travel to Istanbul Turkey

Istanbul Turkey

Istanbul, Turkey, by Jesse

We left Bulgaria and traveled into Turkey without much hassle.

From there we drove towards Istanbul, staying one night on the road, before we arriving in Istanbul and going to a campground recommended in a guide book.

It was a biggish campground that had working toilets. (I point out that the showers and toilets work as that is not something we were taking for granted at that stage. The showers were working, but only cold water. The "repairs" to give hot water were being done overnight and were finished 4 days later. The joys of camping in Eastern Europe!)

The campground was also near the sea which was unfortunately polluted so that the whole campsite had a bad odor. Outside the campground the roadside gardens has tens of thousands of tulips in full blood that looked fantastic. The campground was very spacious with lots of trees and grass. We could choose our own site as it was still before the season started and there was plenty of room. All in all it was an okay base to see Istanbul from.

There was a small commercial area nearby and we found; restaurants, an internet café, 2 supermarkets, bakeries, hairdressers etc. We had dinner at one of the restaurants (good food) and then went back to the camp to get some sleep.

The next day we got a taxi to town to go to the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar in the center of the city. As we walked we saw lots of people selling novelty sites and souvenirs on the streets. It made the streets busy with a real hustle and bustle but coming fro Africa it seemed very clean and organized, even relaxed, by comparison.

We approached the Grand Bazaar through small streets and alleys but we could still see the building looming over the surrounding buildings. The bazaar has thousands of stalls so we spent a few hours wandering around just looking at everything. We bought shoes, jewelry and bits and pieces. Mostly though we just walked and looked. It was fascinating.

From there we walked to the Spice Bazaar where we bought Turkish delight, Turkish teas and Donor Kebabs.

We took a bus to go back to camp and used the buses to get around the city from then on.

One day we took the ferry across the bay to go to the Herbalife warehouse and get some business packs and to top up our own supply of the nutrition products that we have been using every day to keep well.

We got an email saying that mum's mother, Grandma Madge had fallen ill and it took a couple of days to organize for to fly home to Australia direct to Melbourne from Istanbul. When it was organized we all went out to the airport by taxi to see her off. She was away for a month and rejoined us at Dubrovnik in Croatia. Everyone here was very impressed with the support of our travel agents, Lifestyle Travel, from Ballarat. Mum and Dad said that it was only because of Leonie Spencer from there pushing things through that we were able to organize the tickets to let Mum fly out.

The following day dad and Rachel went into the city to organize the campervan registration in Turkey onto Dad's passport and so Phoebe and I got a day of relaxing.

The next day we left to move on in our travels by taking the ferry across the Mamara Straights and heading south to Bursa.

I think that Istanbul is a nice place that is a great area for shoppers.

Traveling around the world is a great activity to pursue at almost any age provided you are in proper health to handle the rigors of international student travel.

Sometimes, the demands of modern life seem to require an endless supply of energy. It’s hard enough just trying to squeeze everything in, then finding the energy to actually do everything presents a whole other obstacle. Are *YOU* low on natural energy?

When it comes to maintaining your good health, even when we try to eat well, we're still disadvantaged…
The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.

The best nutrition products I know of make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
