The road (and rail and air) to Constantinople

We've made it! After a day's travel, we arrived at our hotel in Istanbul about midnight local time to be told that they were overbooked. No problem though, as we have been upgraded to a classier place just round the corner, with a view of both the Blue Mosque and Ayia Sofia! Now ensconced and enjoying complimentary Turkish delight. Looking forward to daylight and hitting the streets and waterways.
