Istanbul...20 million people came out to greet us...it was busy & chaotic & the only overcast and rainy day we have had. We visited the Blue mosque which was incredible. We kept our shoes in a plastic bag due to advice from the travel advisor on board that we should wear old shoes and we could change our shoes on the way out for better ones. We were afraid some go the other visitors may have had the same intention.
Christian & Muslim. The church of Sofia - Christian for centuries and then overnight Muslim when Fatih Selmet rode in and took over the city. The church/mosque is now a museum showing Christian and Muslim artefacts together. A bit like having two bob each way.
The Grand Bazaar which is very bizarre...6000 shops most advertising 'genuine fakes'...talk about consummate salesmen...
