We start off day 2 next to the Marmara Sea. There's no problem in getting a good breakfast today since I'm comfortably cocooned at the Tashkonak
Involved a tram ride to the Grand Bazaar, a walk to the back of the Istanbul University and later a bus ride with locals wondering if I was lost. The bus driver was a nice gallant chap btw.
What I want to remember is this short climb out from Chora towards Gross supermarket on the left
As well as , don't laugh, the shiny , beautiful condiment array at Seyidoglu
Not forgetting the nice manager at Seyidoglu
Day 3.
Hearty breakfast with no suffering. Now this is what I'm talking about
The scary hole in the still thriving tree.
See the marble hut ? That's a really busy teashop mind you. Can't see the teamaker, only his hands are occasionally visible when he places drinks to be delivered through the openings
The Topkapi guard that gave me " the scary look "
Tünel tram station with some anniversary hoardings on top over at Taksim.
One last peep at the funicular tram
Istiklal with so side many lanes to explore, you'll need to dedicate an entire day to complete the task
The bunch of street musicians I hope do well
Day 4.
This can be annoying. I know. But I still love this instaweather app that doubles up as my record the moment diary. Hang on about to finish.
The highlight of the last day.
Quite possibly the most handsome man in Kucukayasofya, Sultanahmet and beyond the Bosphorus , we finally met up with the very busy Ismail. If you're lucky enough to meet him, you too will agree that he has quite a personality that lends a touch of prestige and class to all that he does.
Lovely stay
