We headed off to Istanbul for the weekend to celebrate Geoff's birthday. On the plane I read lots of magazines and then started to watch a film on my laptop called The Notebook. Not a good idea. Tears streaming down my face. I didnt have enough time to finish the film so in the taxi to the hotel I watched the rest, again tears. Geoff was handing me tissues. What a beautiful film but do make sure you have tissues at hand. Istanbul is a fabulous city to visit. Lots to see, fantastic restaurants, friendly people, a weekend is really too short.
