Ok, so to bring you all up to speed.
We landed in Istanbul, made friends and smoked hookah, saw some amazing things.
We took a bus to Sulçuk and made some friends and saw some amazing things.
We took a bus to Cappadocia with a friend and saw some amazing things.
Now we have arrived in Trabzon. There was a bit of debate about whether to come here or not becuase it was a 15hr bus ride and no one we knew had been or was going to go here. And alas there are no Caucasian to speak of. We were unable to make arrangements for a hotel online and no one here speaks english.
But we did it. Its a pretty big culture shock over here compared to the west coast. Our main reason for heading over this way is to see the Sumela Monastery.. you can see why from this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SumelaWe will take a bus up to see it this afternoon. There is alot of hiking and the weather is much much cooler here.... it is an extremely crowded city so we will probably not stay too long.
There are rumors of a boat that goes from Trabzon to Istanbul. It is a two day trip that will cost $20.00 each for a private sleeper. I'm hoping this will be our method of travel back before we take a plane to Tel Aviv.
Güle Güle (good bye)

I am sure that the bus had excellent AC and comfy seats..ha! I tried your link but did not come up with anything. Maybe you guys should submit an entry to Wikapedia? Does the two day boat trip promise some nice sights?

Hookah is waterpipe tobacco.. flavored...
I hope the boat trip works out the information I found says that they don't run anymore :(
