Bit of a nightmare getting into Istanbul centre as there was a blooming marathon going on so all the roads were closed around the route. Ended up dumping my car at the airport and travelling in by tram. Even that wasn`t immune and I ended up walking the last couple of miles to the hotel. The second time I`ve been caught up in a marathon. The last time I was on a bin Beijing. To relax after all that climbed the Galta tower for a spectacular view of the city.
