Dreams come true - Istanbul (day 8)

We flew back to Istanbul for 2 days transit before returning home. Thanks God we were upgraded to business class and it's our first experience in business call even though it's short flight only 45 minutes. We landed safely at Istanbul Airport around noon time and was picked up by limousine from our hotel. We stayed at Orientbank hotel where James Bond movie sky fall set in and the staff was very warm and personalised.  The room was not big but it's comfortable. We went to Balat - vibrant colour neighbourhood for some photo shots and having dinner there.
