From My Diaries / Goodbye November


Ayayay...oh no.. Another variant?? When are we gonna live?

Many people had expected the World Health Organization to label the latest variant "Nu", but the they skipped Nu and gave the name “Omicron” to a new variant of the coronavirus. Nu or Omicron, whatever the name is, go away!

Before the new variant of the coronavirus, (which they don’t look like they're gonna end) we took a trip to Istanbul for a couple of days this month.

One of the most famous streets in Turkey;

İstiklal Avenue, Istanbul.



Galata Tower Museum and Art Center

Galata Tower was built in the mid-14th century when the Genoese had a colony in Galata.
206 feet high tower overlooking Beyoğlu and Karaköy from its perched position.


Gorgeous view from the ferry ride plus it's an excellent deal.
You’ll enjoy spectacular views of historical sites, fortresses, museums, the stunning bridges, and soak up the atmosphere along the city’s European and Asian shores.


Ortaköy Mosque in Beşiktaş, Istanbul. It’s situated at the waterside of Ortaköy pier square. One of the most popular locations on the Bosphorus. You can also have a ferry ride here.





Bebek




Bebek Park is located on Istanbul's European Bosphorus shore. It has a beautiful view and gorgeous relaxing point surrounded by trees which are centuries old.





Trump Shopping Mall is located in Şişli, Istanbul. Its a regular shopping mall with local and international brands. It has spacious are for little ones.




Must try the Baked potatoes/ Kumpir (you choose your fillings ) and waffles 👌




La Villa Blanche is a nice hotel that makes you feel home. Watching autumn’s beauty from your balcony after a day trip is relaxing.




Relaxing time after a long day of being outside.









St. Antuan Catholic Church
It’s the largest church of the Roman Catholic Church in Istanbul, Turkey, located at İstiklal Avenue.







Thinking what to cook for dinner tonight?
Basic dinner idea which is my fave; Sautéed mushrooms, rice and green salad. Sit back and enjoy your dinner time!


This is just a hope that this virus ends soon and we all get back to normal life. Even if it doesn’t look this way, I keep wishing, hoping.
Healthy Holidays

    1. It really is! Last couple of days, it has been very windy. Unfortunately, yesterday the storm caused damage in Istanbul and western Turkey. As far as I know, 4 people lost their lives. There are people injured. It also hurt badly financially. I hope there will be no more disasters.
