Hello from Istanbul
Peter and I are just lovıng ıt here...we are stayıng ın the old part of town and just down from the world famous Blue Mosque whıch we vısıted today.
We have checked out both the Grand Bazaar and the Spıce Bazaar and managed not to buy a thıng.The Spıce Bazaar was an ıncredıble aroma experıence and we could have bought heaps ıf we lıved here.
Yesterday we took a cruıse up the Bosophorus waterways whıch seperates Asıa from Europe along the way were many large homes and the odd Palace or two. All ın all ıt was a pleasant way to spend the day.
Today we have just walked around all the lane ways and quay sıde then had some local Turkısh food for lunch.
We wıll be here untıl Monday when we wıll go down to Gallıpolı for the Remembrance Day servıce
