Sunday 20th – 1 of 2

Another multiple blog – it is a feast for the senses, and there is so much to share.

Early morning walk – the Blue Mosque looks very fine, and extremely quiet.

Booked another tour this morning.  Part of it was to look at the Spice Market which we had seen yesterday.  The Guide suggested we look at the station.  Fabulous – and this is where the Orient Express started from.

Then on a boat up the Bosphorus – connected to the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmaris which I now understand.  Mosque Sultanahmet – the largest in Istanbul.

The Asian side.  Including in the distance the brand new biggest Mosque to be completed in a couple of months.

Lunch is the famous fish sandwich (no, me neither).  But loads of cafes doing a fresh fish sandwich for about £1.50.

Then the 3 Turkish things you have to do all in one go:

– Turkish Coffee

– Turkish Delight

– Baklava
