In this article (11,000 words, 40 photographs) we discuss our four day trip to Istanbul. We present a day-by-day account of our visit to the old part of the city. Our activities included visits to the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Harem museums, Chora museum, Grand Bazaar, and a Bosphorus cruise. Two other special events were the Sarnic Hotel Cooking Class and the unforgettable experience of a Turkish Bath.

For each of these activities we provide our impressions, key facts, a selection of photos, and the relevant opening times, entrance fees and references. A special addition to this eBook is a selective historical account of Istanbul which anchors each cultural icon and associated characters in time. References identified throughout the article are consolidated in an Appendix. The conclusion presents our highlights, disappointments and lessons learnt.

A visit to the old part of Istanbul should be on everyone’s “bucket list” and you’ll be impressed with a visit to any of the sites. Naturally everyone will have their favourite activities and for us it was the visits to the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and the Turkish Bath. My wife also enjoyed the cooking class.

OS Wayfarer will chart my journey from international development assistance specialist (project management, monitoring and evaluation, and tender writing) to travel, feature and business writer.

My tender management and writing was informed by over 25 years as a development assistance consultant and by an intimate knowledge of the tendering process. I really enjoyed this tendering work - in essence it was putting together a story, albeit a non-fictional story. The deadlines, research, planning, interviewing, writing and presentation for each tender were all consuming and satisfying, yet exhausting at the end.

I do not wish to retire but I do want to "transition to retirement" and travel a lot more for pleasure. So why not write about some of the travels and also write about professional aspects of my development assistance work? From what I can see this self-publishing caper is a lot like tender preparation.

So I intend to write, publish and market articles (as eBooks) about project monitoring, tendering and travel. I want to learn everything about this exciting process.

Oh, and I am a sucker for technology - I do enjoy my Kindle, DSLR camera, notebook, smartphone and digital voice recorder!

I welcome your feedback as I learn to write, publish and market these eBooks.
