Day 2 Istanbul

Today we have walked to one of my favourite historical figures tombs. Mehmed II (the conqueror). It was incredible and extremely ornate.

This included Vlad the impaler (Dracula) and Romania as well as Sofia. With Istanbul or Constantinople as it was known being his greatest conquest.

Finishing of with some fantastic food, including gluten free baclava 🤩.Read more
