Booked our airport transport. The driver came 3 hours earlier. The hotel staff came knocking on the door while I was still sleeping. Felt sorry for the driver, we left the hotel early.
Passed by beautiful Constantinople ancient wall.
Last looking at Istanbul, farewell, *sobs*.
Security check at the entrance of Istanbul airport was crazy and annoying. But I understand it's for extra security.
All bags full to the zip, really didn't expect to buy so much lolxx...
Overall map of the airport.
Still quite a nice airport despite of many negative comments online.
Snake queue at departure gate.
Took about 15 to 20mins to clear, but was still ok.
Lots of shopping, lots of restaurants but very little public seatings.
Walked from left to right, finally found Salt Bae.
Even the coke was printed #saltbae.
Salad.
Lamb chops.
Onion rings.
Chocholate cake.
Burger with fries.
Thick and juicy.
All delicious, just kinda costly.
After this we ran to our flight.
Overall, Turkiye was amazing, more beautiful than we thought. Enjoyed and love all the places we had been to. Free & easy highly recommended as metro and ferry were easy in Istanbul. All the tours agencies in Singapore wasted a lot of time (4 to 10 hours daily) travelling on coach. We spend about S$3000, all in (including international and domestic flights, accommodations, food, local tours and hot air balloon, excluding one leg business class flight).
On Etihad's economy to Abu Dhabi.
6 hours noon flight.
It was quite comfortable actually.
Had Teriyaki chicken rice, yummy.
Limited selection of movies, bored.
Back to super gorgeous Abu Dhabi new airport.
Baby sis came straight from work to pick us up.
Work has been rough on her, but she's a very tough lady.
Good night Abu Dhabi, next day was super fun in desert!
Thank you for reading this old school blog.
