After what can only be described as a whirlwind 24 hours, I finally arrive into Madrid on 24th May at 12:40, I grab my luggage and rush to the Turkish Airline counter. The initial plan was to arrive into Istabul at 14:00 pm on the 24th, I'm now rushing to the airline counter attempting to get the earlier 14:25 flight so I can arrive into Istanbul at 19:40 pm. They let me through, all in all I'm delayed only by 7 hours. Not bad. I'm exhausted and by the time I get to Dossi Dossi an absolutely wiped!
