Caucasus 2018: 01 KL - Istanbul, Turkey

“We learn something from everyone who passes through our lives. Some lessons are painful, some are painless. But, all are priceless…”

(Dinner at Mis Adana Kebab Restaurant in Istanbul)

Day 01: 15 April 2018 (Sunday) 

Route: KL – Istanbul 

Hotel: Ekinci Residence Istanbul, Turkey 

Our QR0845 0900/1220 flight was delayed for an hour in KLIA due to congestion. In Doha Hamad International Airport, we had to rush through security checks to board our connecting flight QR025 1340/1820 to Istanbul.

(Very early breakfast at KLIA)

(After a long tiring journey)

Our group arrived at Kamal Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul on time. There was a problem with hubby’s passport and it took a long time to clear. A van transferred us to Ekinci Residence somewhere near Sabiha Gocken Airport. We had kebab dinner at a nearby Mis Adana Kebab Restaurant before we checked-in.

Tonight we met Mr Hazimin, our supposed guide for this Caucasus trip.
