Day 9 (3rd Nov) : Amazing Turkey !



Day 9 : Istanbul - Bahrain - KL


Today is the final day of this trip. Our flight to Bahrain was scheduled at 2.20 pm. So, we still got time for shopping mania on that entire morning before get ready with packed luggage to Istanbul Attartuk Airport. I've no more left Lira notes and USD notes still can be used for shopping. This country can accept Lira or USD. After breakfast, managed to jalan-jalan at shop lots nearby hotel. Actually, the hotel (Kecik Hotel) that we stayed, known as the best location for shopping. I bought 2 pieces of very nice table cloth (30 USD - 1 pcs), cushion cover (5 USD) and baju tidur (5 USD). Its winter season coming soon and most of the shops are selling good bargain for winter coats and boots.
