What a great segue!

With homework and Hammam all done, it was time we bathed ourselves in some Istanbul history!
(You like that?)

We always love a good walking tour of a new city but we thought we’d try something different this go around so it was time to learn a new skill and test our balance (and Kylie’s newly healed ankle).

Jumping on the segways turned out to be a amazing way to take in a massive city that Dale especially had been really looking forward to seeing.
Ariah took to the Segway like a natural and was pretty quickly zooming around in the waiting area whilst the rest of us got up to speed.
I think that was probably the last time we were near her really as zoomed off to the front of the pack with the guide - putting him under pressure sometimes too!

Zooming around Istanbul at night we got great views of the Hagia Sofia, Sultan Ahmet Camii (the Blue Mosque) and the beautiful architecture of bunch of other mosques, the Topkapi Palace Walls, the column of Constantine, and stop for a rest and to take in the breathtaking view from the grounds of the mosque of Suliman the Magnificent.

We also stopped at the ancient zero marker from which all distances in the Roman/Byzantine Empire were measured - which Kylie did get a little Civil Engineer Fangirl about 😝👷‍♀️

It was a late night but very fun!Baca selengkapnya
