We are rapidly ticking off the must see places in Ginny's guide book. These will give you a taste.
The Hagia Sophia - a church built by Justinian in the 6th century which later became a mosque and is now a museum. It has a huge dome which has been an archiectural challenge over the years, partly due to the earth tremors common here. We saw a great SBS doco on it a few weeks ago that increased our interest.
Blue Mosque
Grand Bazaar
We had just finished lunch but that didn't stop us trying something else to eat.
These trendy young ladies still wear the headscarf but with denim skirts and bright tops.

A few interesting buildings
The dining room of our hotel is a rooftop terrace but this one must be the ultimate in rooftop dining.
These next two are the view from our rooftop dining room - Blue Mosque and hagia Sophia
