Rerouted through Istanbul

We flew from Prague to Brussels and were about to board the plane to go from Brussels to Dakar when we were informed that the plane wasn't going to fly because of technical difficulties.  We were then rerouted through Istanbul, basically flying backwards from where we started.  Everyone was quite upset, but at least we were still on our way.  I was able to meet the Minister of Tourism for Gambia and the Vice President of the Football Federation for Gambia.  There were really nice, and the minister was actually waiting in line like everyone else.  Someone had to grab him from the line and take him to the front.  Once we arrived in Istanbul, we had 5 hours to burn.  Luckily the airport in Istanbul is HUGE so the time went by fast. It was so interesting to see all the different things that the airport had to offer.  We even came across a free museum within the airport.
