Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul. The western terminus of the Silk Road. The historical gateway between East and West. A place so charged with symbolism I can't help but feel I'm facing yet another Kilómetro Cero. As if the 10,000 kilometres that led me here have been nothing but a prelude to the real stuff. 'This is where it begins,' the city whispers.

Commuting made fun: a ferry ride across the Bosphorus |

Competition is fierce on the Galata Bridge |
