Hunding Posted August 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I thought my appetite for Istanbul was completely whetted -- ha-ha, not so! Thanks [again] for the terrific pix. Really -- you guys need to get some kind of a grant, travel more often, then write and post here. We would all certainly be the better for it. Many thanks.

cruisecountess Posted August 9, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just curious as to what camera you used. Your photos are terrific. I'm sure that's largely due to your talent, but I'd like whatever edge I can get. Thanks again for posting. Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo Mom Posted August 10, 2012 Author #17 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks so much Harriet. We used a Nikon Cool Pix L120. It's very easy to use and I don't consider myself a great picture taker. JMO, it wasn't painful at all for me to copy my photos from Facebook here. I don't put all my pictures on a photo site so for me that would take much more time. If it's painful for you to open the links, please don't take the time to do so.

Anna201213 Posted August 10, 2012 #20 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi Tokyo Mom We were there at the same time. We really enjoyed the cruise but it was so hot...We have almost the same pictures but it was a pleasure to see yours thank you for sharing A question: we did not go to Positano because some people told us about the heavy traffic in July so I wish to know how long it took from Sorrento to Positano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo Mom Posted August 10, 2012 Author #21 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Anna201213 - I had read the same thing - about all the traffic between Sorrento and Positano, which is why I hired a private driver. To be perfectly honest, there was hardly any traffic at all! The only traffic was on our return to Sorrento (in what looked like the main shopping intersection). I'm guessing it took about 45 minutes maybe a little less. And yes, it was so HOT! When people have asked about the cruise I've told them I loved it but would suggest that if you want to go, pick a month other than July. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
