Return from Istanbul!

Coming back from Istanbul, I can say it was a pleasant weekend - even if hot and humid.

But then again, so is Israel.


We basically covered the tourist hot spots as all we had were 3 days, but I think we did pretty good considering the time restraints :)


Among the places we visited were:


The Blue Mosque





Hagia (Santa) Sofia







Sulimaniye Mosque (which sadly is in renovations over 2007-2008)






Taxim Square






The Grand Bazzar (which is pretty grand)




The Spice Bazzar, and a couple of other places.








Basilica Cistern
