Christmas Eve we arrived in Istanbul! Since we were going to be in port for 2 days I took advantage of a little down time and had a massage, manicure and pedicure! It was a nice day of relaxing and pampering.
On Christmas Day we took a tour of Istanbul. Our tour guide was great and there were only 4 of us on the tour! First stop was the
Blue Mosque:
Then a little walk...
 |
| This was brought all the way from Egypt! |
and the
Hagia Sophia
 |
| Uncovering Christian art that had been covered when it was converted to a mosque. |
 |
| An angel that had covered when it was turned into a mosque. |
 |
| Viking Runes carved in the marble |
Our last stop was the
Grand Bazaar
Turkey was a lot of fun...we would love to go back sometime. I would love to spend more time at the Grand Bazaar!
