Africa, I’m on my way!

14 11 2007

I’m packed. I’m waiting for my bus at the hotel to take me to the airport. I have no idea what to expect at the airport so I am writing now to say AFRICA, SEE YOU SOON!

It’s likely I will not be online for a little while. I have so much to do and so many people I have to see and all in a very short space of time! So if you don’t hear from me I promise you I have not been eaten by a lion! Fuck I hope I don’t get eaten by a lion now! How embarrassing would that be?

I hope the chief of my tribe allows me the use of his new kom-pu-ta and interweb theeng so that I can get online. It’s all very new to my tribe so they limit access quite a bit. Lets hope them drums are beating and them pigeons are flapping… That way I will stay in touch!

Take care until the next time I get online (which could be now at the airport - hahaha).

Bon Voyage Me!

Beautiful Istanbul

14 11 2007

After a relaxing night in my hotel bed I decided to get up SOOO early to be the tourist that I declared I would be today. So I set my alarm for 8am and was outside by 9am. Shut up I’m on holiday!

I spoke to our “concierge” (a term I use loosely cos he was an idiot), asking him how I got to Topkapi Palace and Ayesofya etc and he said, “yes sir you can go outside, get the tram and be a tourist”. I can go outside, get the tram and be a tourist?? Hahaha. I didn’t even bother further. I knew I wasn’t going to get anywhere.

I walked up half a block and walked into the Ramada Hotel and went directly to their concierge like I owned the place. He was very helpful with maps and everything. Off I was, outside, on the tram and being a tourist. I guess the first guy was right. That’s all I had to do.
