Travel-diary: Istanbul

Titanic Hotel, Port Bakirkoy

Almost entered the elevator in my fluffy bathroom slippers. Thankfully my room’s close enough to run back to from the level lobby.

Chocolates for brunch, with Krispy Kreme donuts and Coffee Frappucino at the universal symbol for coffee. Catching up on some reading while the day’s still young.


Capacity shopping mall proved a great place to lose oneself in for the afternoon.

Bought the family some yummy Turkish Delight!

Mandatory stop at Krispy Kreme again for takeaways!

Next stop: Carousel Mall, whose name is probably derived from the actual carousel in its grounds, or perhaps the latter was built to accommodate its name. Whichever. It’s a beautiful children wonderland.

The relaxing view from my room.

And a couple of yummy food shots

Insanely yummy sesame/nuts bagel that costs only 1 Turkish Lira from an amiable roadside vendor.

Tacos for tea? 🙂 and chocolate berries cheesecake. Gosh it’s food heaven everywhere.

Cinnamon clove herbal tea that I’m officially in love with.
