Woke up to a whole load of texts and email to make sure we were OK! Yes we were well away from the bombings in Istanbul last night but thanks to everyone who checked on us!!

Joined Gem, Kas, and Emily and went off to the Grand Bazaar in the morning. It was a whole load of dudes trying to sell you the same thing and I did get stuck with some new lamps for the garden. Weird though they didn't really bargain like they do in most countries... (The people on the far left make this shot, umm who's the tit with his thumb up?)

Once back at the hotel we picked up all of our luggage and Gem was nice enough to give us a lift to the airport. Caught our flight and when we returned to London at 410 I had a race with the clock to return all the gear before 530. Made it with 4 minutes to spare which was pretty good going apart from the lady at the desk trying to charge me double of what was agreed!! Cheeky pricks at that rental house which I try to use them very rarely now.

Met up with Jason and the Fish and we went back to Brighton to try and see The Dark Knight which was sold out so we settled with some Louie Theroux instead which Jason quite enjoyed!
