Time is flying already!

After having spent the early part of the week in Istanbul, due to my family visiting, i was able to visit some of the more tourist orientated elements of the city. I took a trip to the Archaeology museum which had things from as early as 8/9th cetury BC and also revealed a lot about the history of the Ottoman Empire, such as how they took over from the Byzantines and which Sultan was in charge when, all fascinating stuff. However, the best was yet to come, we went to the Topkapi Palace museum, which gave fascinating insights into Islamic history, they had on show hairs from the beard of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the rod which Musa (AS) used to split the ocean, the arm of Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) and swords from the the first four Khalifas' and the Sahaba and much more, really amazing! I had had a great time and after another sad farewell with my mum, came back to Eskisehir on Wednesday. I have to say those four hours on the train from Istanbul to Eskisehir, seem to fly by everytime, the scenery on the way is breathtaking, its just so beautiful and poetic, i seem to lose myself in it everytime! Although, i was rather glad to get away from the chaotic nature in Istanbul and be back in more peaceful territory. I have atlast realised how fast time is going, so im just trying to poise myself and appreciate everything and take it all in as much as i can. This year has started to fly already, guess thats the problem when you adapt to life. Im also planning to go Antalya next week, im going to try and travel as much as i can, but it looks like time is running away already, but i guess thats a given for all of us.
