Greece and Turkey





We had a magical trip to Greece and Turkey, sailing the beautiful sailing schooner, the WindStar. We started in Athens and ended up in Istanbul. Above are the following pictures:
1. Darren and Rochelle in a shop in Istanbul. Shopping is an adventure; the shopkeepers bring you tea, wine, food and entertain you as if you are in their home. Bargaining is all part of the "game".
2. Us standing on the bow of the ship; it was our first sunrise. This ship had 200-foot sails and excellent service. It only held 100 passengers or so; so the ship was small enough to enjoy and get to know people.
3. Rochelle in front of the Acropolis, Athens.
4. Rochelle Drinking turkish coffee. It is VERY strong!
