This morning was the last chance to have our favorite sour
cherry strudel so we went out on the farewell walk to the main square. After
the strudel, we walked towards the Cathedral because Pani Marta told us there
was going to be a big Corpus Christi
procession there. Unfortunately, the procession was after the 11 am mass, too
late for us as we had to leave for the airport. Lviv airport is brand new and
very nice, and it has free wifi.
The Turkish airline flight was great. The food was
surprisingly good and plentiful. Istanbul
was a huge contrast to Lviv -- big,
crowded, noisy. The hotel cars was supposed to pick us up, but there were so
many people holding up names that we had to go back and forth several times
before we spotted our name. Our hotel (Acra) is located in the historic
Sultanahmet neighborhood, between the Topkapi Palace
and the Blue Mosque so right after checking in we walked around to get our
bearings. At about 10 pm we started to look for a place to eat and ended up in
a restaurant on a roof terrace with a beautiful view of the mosque, good food,
good wine, but excruciatingly slow service.
