17:00 or 5 pm for those Americans not used to military time,
officially commenced our first orientation meeting with Meli, owner and founder
of Melitour at Hotel Ayasofiya in Istanbul. Some have been to Western Turkey
before but for Barbara, Owen and I this was our first trip to Turkey. Meli
welcomed each one of us with a kiss on both cheeks prior to our introductions,
which was quite sweet. Besides Meli and our driver, there are only eleven of us
ready with anticipated breath, to see and experience the Black Sea and Eastern
Turkey for the next 19 days. The group consists of 11 people. Our pictures are
all below
Afterwards, all eleven of us trekked our way up the hill from our hotel to
Sokullu Restaurant for lentil soup, chicken kebab or grilled sea bass along with
tomato and cucumber salad and of course, baklava for dessert. Since we had an
early flight to Trabzon the next morning, we decided to eat in the
neighborhood.
