Istanbul

Due to the time shift the time we travelled increased from 12.5 hours to almost 20 hours 🥴 Right after taking off from Sao Paulo we got our breakfast 🍳 because it was already around 5 in the morning in Argentinian time. We couldn't eat a lot and afterwards fell into an uneasy sleep for a few hours.
Then we spend our time the way it's best on an airplane, watching movies and having a nice wine 🍷 The wine was a Malbec and pretty good. Around halfway through our trip over the Atlantic, it started getting dark already again, which was pretty weird 🌑

Three movies and some more wine later we got our dinner menu and then landed at around 23:00 in Istanbul. The airport is super large and we spent almost an hour until we came to the F Terminal from where our flight would departure. We asked at the check-in booth about a hotel because we had read that passengers get a complimentary stay at a hotel when they have a layover. Unfortunately it is only if the time between the flights is more than 12 hours and ours is 10 😅 But instead we got vouchers for a dinner menu from a selection of restaurants. I decided to try Popeyes while Julia got a pizza.
Well fed and tired we made ourselves as comfortable as possible on benches and the floor to catch up on some sleep 😴Læs mere
