Day 44: Istanbul

There is a small bar giving on to an open courtyard at the back of the hammam. Sitting here with a glass of raki and a bowl of grapes luxuriating in the afterglow of the bath at the end of a long day, I feel as content as I ever could.
The last news of the day is that the port of Tallinn, which we entered three weeks ago, has been closed by a blockade.
