We are currently on a night bus heading to Cappadocia, Turkey. We have spent the last six days in Istanbul dodging people and listening to the tranquil sound of honking horns. That being said, we also got to enjoy the sites below which more than made up for the madness of being in this large high paced city.
The outside of Hagia Sophia- the most famous church/ mosque turned museum in Istanbul
Hagia Sophia- from the inside
Muslim and Christian history- both remain intact
The Blue Mosque
Mila about to move the mosque to a new location
Possible picture of the trip candidates
The Basillica Cistern
Medusa heads- there is only speculation as to why one is sideways and the other upside down
Taksim Square- this area is the Times Square of Istanbul or so they say
I'm on a boat- our trip to the princess islands (Buyukada) via ferry
There were no motorized vehicles allowed on the island we visited. Most people explored via horse and carriage. We explored via foot and Teva.
The sun setting for our return home
The many mosques in Istanbul that highlight the skyline
The hustle and bustle of the city. At times it could be a notch overwhelming
Stray kittens everywhere but the cutest lived in our hostel
Chillin' on Hagia Sophia
From the inside of mosques we saw
Food
Who ate the other two pieces?!?!
We should probably start eating healthier
The Hippodrome
Galata Bridge and Galata Tower- separating Istanbul, Europe from Istanbul, Asia. Fishermen line the entire bridge. You would think the fish would wisen up and swim elsewhere
And my personal favorite- Mila on a squirrel
Well off to Cappadocia. We miss everyone!
Until next time,
-Mila and Scott
