Istanbul, Turkey
Grand Bizarre.
Last few days in the great city of 14m.
Boat trip on the Bosphorus, cable car to the Pierre Loti Cafe, then down through old cemetery.
Walk to the Egyptian Spice market for saffron. The Grand Bizarre and the Basilica Cistern - the underground water supply built by Justinian.
Turkish coffee and delight, shish and kebobs, …
Fiona Shame the Baptistry was under wraps. Have to go back to see its splendour. Best way to view interior of Diormo cheaply and without tourists is to go to mass. 6.00pm and in Italian. Dome amazing. Interior of Novello church surpasses interior though!
