What an amazing city, Istanbul is! There was so much to see. First there was Aya Sofya, an amazing church then turned into a mosque.
Then there was Topkapi Palace
And off course the Blue Mosque
And the Grand Bazaar
There were also plenty of mosques and tombs everywhere we walked
Galata Bridge
Galata Tower
Basilica Cistern

Istiklal Street shopping area
Bhosphorous Cruise
And off course, the food was amazing!
...except for the Turkish ice-cream which the kids said was disgusting and it did have a bubblegum consistency! And beware the ice-cream guy who will demand an exorbitant amount of money for their 'show'
It was also in Instanbul that the girls made friends with their Scottish born and bred Turkish friends with whom Eloise has continued to keep in contact with via Musicaly. The girls learnt a lot about Muslims and head scarfs from these girls.
