The long wait to my holiday came to an end when I finally boarded
the plane, last minute, to my most anticipated trip to Istanbul. As if I had
never travelled before, I couldn't hold my excitement. I felt like jumping up
and down, and I'm pretty sure it showed on my face.Hungry, tired, with a cabin bag held in one hand, while trying to
munch down the pizza I bought last minute, I make my way to my seat. I could
see people looking at me, but I wasn’t sure if it was because I was constantly smiling
or because I looked ridiculous. Least bothered about all
the eyes on me, I made
my way to the seat thinking of Istanbul and seeing the Blue Mosque; I had been
dreaming about it for more than ten years.
