We had a great trip to Turkey. Although it was rainy weather in Istanbul, we visited Hagia Sophia, called as Aya Sofia. It was a little bit disappointment for us, because half a building was under renovation. Blue Mosque, called as Sultanahmet camii, we saw just outside, because there was so long queue waiting for entry.

Afyonkarahisar offered a lot of experience and the hosts were very friendly. We were taken many kind of places, for example: to one of the local mosque. We visited to marble shop, where we saw very beautiful things made of marble. Now I know that Marble is (marmori) and it is written with r, and maple is (vaahtera) writing with p and without r. The Governor recommended to us by a spa visit in a local fancy spa. After that we go to a restaurant, which was really huge. The next evening we ate dinner at a place, which is the largest restaurant that I have ever visited.

One of the host guided me to the post office and back to hotel. He was a Turkish English interpreter, and his working day was finished, he still helped me.

The weather was so wonderful. The sun was shining and it was so warm like in summer.

I can’t say anything, but it was a fascinating journey.

I really hope you see those pictures, how interesting our journey was.
We'll see next Wednesday.
