01 Istanbul: Love is in the air...

"Travelling is like a chocolate box. It Doesn’t matter what you get. All is good..."

(Istanbul International Airport)

Day 01: 19/06/25 (Thursday)
Flight: TK061 KUL 2345/IST 0520+1 (Turkish Air)
Route: Kuala Lumpur - Istanbul, Turkey

All our bags are packed, and the adventure begins. As we prepare to set out for Central America, I find myself standing at a quiet crossroads - where excitement meets uncertainty. The thrill of exploring new landscapes, cultures, and stories fills me with anticipation, yet I also feel the gentle weight of the unknown pressing at the edges of my thoughts. Perhaps this is what makes every journey so meaningful: that delicate balance between eagerness and hesitation, reminding me that discovery always starts with a single step into unfamiliar ground.

(Ready for the 20-days trip)

By 5.00 pm we were already on the way to our Putramas Apartment. Our car will be parked there for the duration of the trip. Booked a grab car to KLIA. The after office hour traffic was quite heavy and it was raining slightly. When we reached the airport it was already Maghrib. Performed our jamak prayers at the arrival surau level 2.

The long haul flight to Istanbul was full. The 10h 35m on board was spent napping in between listening to Mark Knopfler. Meals were served two hours after departure and two hours before arrival.
