Istanbul March 2012

WELCOME !

Back in fabulous, beautiful İstanbul,enjoying ıt all.....

Please come in,I have been expecting you...

I was in Thessalonika a fantastic warm friendly city easy to fall in love with this city

**Decided to attend the VT meeting in Philippines IN January 2012,see me after the meeting for some pictures**

My Buenos Aires page is at :BUONES AIRES

The best place I've been to so far.

Iguacu falls and I .

Where is the most amazing place you been to on our planet ,mine was Iguacu falls in Brazil come take a look-->IGUACU PAGE HERE. My wish is to see it once again,why don't you come too ?..

Internet at 30 thousand feet..

Virgin Atlantic over London.

LUFTHANSA AIRLINES :
Lufthansa has broadband internet on their flights now it is advertised all over London.
Lets see who writes first on Vt from the air...
I like very much The Lufthansa airlines but I shall not fly with them any longer , even though they give generous "airmiles"
The reason is they are trying to discourage the Muslim travelers by putting pork on the menu , I say no more.........

IBERIAN AIRLINES : The transportation of animals are much more comfortable then this airline,you travel with your knees touching your chin,food is even worse this airline also serves pork( like it or hump it),at the beginning of the flight they try to sell food and drinks but no one bought any,not one coffee or any refreshment is served between London and Madrid..Air inside the plane is very stale. One good point they get is their hostesses are very good looking...

Alitalia..
A comfortable airline and a good service,friendly and helpful staff on ground and air,while in the air all the way from London to Milano we had sandwiches drinks all the way and from Milano to Sao Paulo a very nice meal with some wine which was the best I ever tried before.
On my right sat a Portugese man and on my left an Italian so I had good opportunity to practice my language skills, they did not speak much English but I noticed they both had a doll in their hand luggage that almost bought a tear to my eyes,maybe I had become a little more of an adult without relaising it.Somewhere some little girl would be very happy soon.One bad point ,at Milano airport they have no smokers designated area,but thats not alitalias fault I guess.
Will add more later about this excellent airline....

+ Swis Airlines:
Like a poertry,like dancing in the clouds,the flight attendants done everything to make the flight very pleasant,sits were very comfortable...
I do hope you read this Swiss airlines...
Can not say enough for this wonderful airline,I will fly with them again and again,well done Swiss airlines,only thing I did not like was they showed a Tom and Jerry film twice on their monitors,otherwise everything was perfect...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
EGYPTAIR:
Not much to say about this airline excepy maybe food was different,I flied with them from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur /Malaysia. The 18 hour journey felt like a 20 minute journey,why? Because I listened to the wonderful Um Khaltum ( Egypts most famous singer) all the way on planes music system,I felt as if I was touring Egypt,the Pyramids,felt as if whole Egypt was in my head.I slept,woke,eat and rested with her singing to me non stop,nothing else mattered..
Egyptair I love you my most favorite alirline so far.

Royal Brunei airlines: Interesting lively airline with prayers in Arabic before each take off,

I was back in Brazil once again.

looking out to paredise

Words can not describe Brazil,you have to come and see...
Or take a look at my BRAZIL
pages

...

Some say a picture tells a thousand words . I say few well chosen words paints a masterpiece,an epic film , makes your imagination run wild... So instead of hundreds of pictures here I chose to try "few words" option. Hope I do well > !....
*****************************
Few more words to come soon.....

The digital cameras were red hot. .

VTers,making pictures as usual.

My good friends Mique(Sandra) and Balfor(Chris) began taking pictures immediately , soon we were blinded by flash lights......
This was my first ever VT meeting ...( See 16 April VT meeting travelogue below for more )..

For my Middelburg pages and VT meeting there click Below.
MIDDELBURG

My island,my love.

Wedding of my lovely cousin.

I was born in the Island of Cyprus.
This island has changed ownership so many times,all through the ages people come people go.
Sometimes there was peace for a long time,then trouble starts ,some changes are made then peace comes again..
I go to see her once a year,she has changed not like the Cyprus I know from my childhood days,but thats normal no place stays the same as it was when we were kids living in wonderland...
**************************************************************************
My cousins,many of them live in Cyprus,sometimes the deep blue Mediterranean and the bright moon and the stars of the enchanting summer nights asks them "where is he now,why did he leave us and go,how can he do this? "
My beautiful cousins with their midnight black hairs and big dark brown eyes just lift their shoulders and open their palms in reply...

Take a look at my Cyprus page please.
Click on Cyprus below..
CYPRUS

Important notice.....
All my pictures are free to copy and use,please feel free to take any picture you like....

Summer of 2006,Istanbul

Istanbul, just like a pretty girl.

I reached out and touched Istanbul ...
and she touched me
I opened the door and Istanbul was there waiting,
waiting for me
I opened my arms and they were filled with ISTANBUL..
THIS was love.
A beautiful girl should look like Istanbul...

I was in Istanbul in august,back in london now.
Come to ISTANBUL

RESERVED FOR something NEW

I keep this place for some interesting pictures I may take or make sometimes.
So you may get a laugh or enjoy looking or find interesting.....

A hot day in Cyprus.
