Yesterday was our first full day in Istanbul. We started by seeing the Topkapi Palace. That was pretty cool. Then we went and walked around the area where the Hippodrome used to be. It's all covered now.
Then we went to the Spice Market which was also really cool. We bought a bunch of Turkish Delights.
After lunch, we went to the Grand Bazaar, which has more than 3000 shops! And that's not a typo, there are like 3400 shops or something. We only had an hour in a half though so we only saw a fraction of that. But our tour guide says that they all have the similar products so we only need to see a row or two of shops to see all the stuff. I didn't buy anthing, but Vanessa and my mom bought some scarves and pashminas.
After that we went to eat in the downtown square. My mom and dad tried Turkish Coffee.
Wow, Turkey sounds, cool. Is there many witness there since it is a Muslim country??
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the weird faces? I guess the coffee was either too strong, or gross, or both. :D
