Kat & Mat's big bike trip

Day 101 Istanbul

📅 Sunday 19 July 2026 📍 Türkiye
Istanbul
Kat: it's my 50th birthday! I've always wanted to go to Istanbul so being here for a milestone birthday and at the end of such an incredible trip is very special. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and big love to our friends who were able to join us, it's the perfect celebration. Debbie, Karen, Rob and I went to Sulimaniye Mosque this morning, the first one Mat and I visited, then we went for a delicious street food lunch. Back at the hotel they surprised me with cake which we ate in the garden 🥰 In the evening we visited the Hagia Sophia, which was incredible even in its current state under renovation, followed by cocktails then to a fancy restaurant with an incredible view. Istanbul is all about the rooftop views!
Love, Kat & Mat x
