Today's highlights were Byzantium Hippodrome where they raced chariots.
The Blue Mosque where you were surrounded by the smell of sweaty feet as everybody has to take off their shoes. Topkapi Palace which was very crowded and the amazing Basilica underground cisterns and finally Turkish apple tea at a tea house and water pipe cafe. In the cafe all you can hear is the bubbling of water as people of all ages, men and women inhale the flavoured tobacco they seem to sit for hours and although there is a lot of smoke it doesn't have a smell like cigarette smoke.
