Istanbul

We sailed into Istanbul in the afternoon - this is the Blue Mosque seen from the sea.
The next morning another sunrise over the Asian side of Istanbul
We visited the Spice Markets - would love to have brought some home.
Even more spices.
The people selling pigeon food outside the New Mosque!
Inside the New Mosque - which really isn't that new - only about 500 years old!
This was an old mosque we went to which was undergoing repairs - much simpler than the others we had visited but you see the cracks in the ceiling!
Then a visit to the Fish Market - fish everywhere.
