Friday 3rd October

We arrived at Istanbul at 6a.m.  After visiting the post office, and the Grand Bazaar for presents, we caught the “Adona” for Naples at midday

Recap Akköy suffers from earthquakes every year and there are not 2 storey houses in the village, as a single storey ones stand up to the vibrations far better!

Unfortunately something went wrong with our bookings, so we had to sleep on deck until Piraeus.  Fortunately we were given quite a comfortable sofa each to sleep on, in one of the lounges, together with pillows.

We joined company with a young Canadian travelling to Greece.
