Around The World In 72 Days - You Blinked. We're In Africa Now! Explosion of Turkish Photos Coming

Yup. One day of R&R in Istanbul and we flew to Accra, Ghana. Actually we didn't rest at all. We ran around like crazy people and took (no exaggeration) hundreds of photos each! Istanbul is such an amazing place and we are pretty comfortable getting around there. The weather was picture perfect (LOL get it...PICTURE perfect). You will see when we both get things posted. 

We flew Turkish Airlines. The Business Class experience out of their home airport is second to none (I've not done Qatar, Emirates, or Singapore so know there are potentially even higher levels of service). You have a separate check-in area, quiet, closed off. Separate passport control and security. The Business Class Lounge in Istanbul is one of the best for food, layout, quiet even when very busy. The trip itself to Accra was uneventful and we whizzed through immigration and getting our bags. We were in our Airbnb within 45 minutes of landing! We were picked up by two of my people from Theodora who had already checked into the apartment, did a bit of shopping for us, and made us something to eat. Thanks Mary F and Ann!

BTW, anyone who is not cross referencing my blog posts with those of Wife's is missing out on some great photography, a more nuanced view of things, and her own sense of humor.

Will be getting those posted as soon as possible, local internet willing.
