Layover in Istanbul

This week we will spend two and a half days in Istanbul, Turkey.  Friends have said that is certainly not enough time to see all there is to see.  We will do our best!  Because of this, we decided to stay in the Sultanahmet neighborhood.  We learned that this is the easiest place to stay to tick off all of the main sites.  In this area is the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Topaki Palace, Basilica Cistern, as well as many restaurants.  We can't wait!

    i sure hope you can fit it all in, we spent a whole day at Topkapi when we visited for a week. My only suggestion, which must surely be on your list, is a boat ride on the Bosphorous - both sides of the city are breath-taking from the water. Hope you have wonderful and rewarding experiences in Addis Ababa and wherever your travels take you. A big hello from Giuseppe, he is looking forward to reading your blog all on his own :o)

    I wish it was taken from the window of our hotel...but sadly, no! On our Istanbul picture page, we have 3 pictures at the bottom taken from our hotel terrace. We did have a nice view!
