D64 Turkey - Istanbul

A Snapshot of Our Day

Photo 1 - Our last buffet breakfast in Turkey; have loved it but happy to leave it in search of something different!

Photo 2 - Me standing next to your standard sized tomb outside the Archaeological Museum.

Photo 3 - Medusa.

Photo 4 - The decorations on some of the recovered tombs and other monuments is just incredible.

Photo 5 - This monument is from the Mesopotamia period, where it was part of a larger wall fresco that surrounded the Ishtar gate and its connected Processional Way in the city of Babylon.

Photo 6 - Strolling through the gardens surrounding the Palace, trying to not get trampled by the hundreds of tourists flocking through the entrance.

Photo 7 - The Spice Market.

Photo 8 - A very proud Turk selling his wares.

Photo 9 - The new International Airport in Istanbul is really cool, and just big enough to get lost in before a flight. Don’t go to Starbucks if you’re there as you will be disappointed!

Photo 10 - If it’s duty free it doesn’t count right?Meer informatie
