Coffee at the Rabbithole led to a walk across the peninsula, through the streets near the Grand Bazaar, to the Spice Market. so much spice, so much Turkish Delight. We bought some Delight but I’m sure we paid double as we were in the Market. From there we walked across Galata Bridge and up to Galata Tower. Good city views but not much else. Up into Istiklal for some lunch then back to the hotel. Katie is not feeling that great. She has a sore throat and some laryngitis. We rested up as we had a Bosphorus Dinner Cruise scheduled. We were picked up at the hotel and taken to a large boat in the harbor amongst many other boats doing the same thing. We cruised for 3 hours while served a traditional Turkish dinner and entertained with various folk dances. Got home about midnight. Today we caught a boat to Prince Islands for some beach time. Beaches are more the European flavor where you pay for a lounge chair and umbrella. Sunny warm day and the beer is cold.
Fabulous blog and trip Brian.
I love seeing the photos of your travels.
I hope Katie is feeling better. I bet she brought along plenty of meds just in case this happened.
Enjoy and keep on writing.
I’m diggin it.
