      Stage 6 - Hagia Sophia

      20 de julho de 2023, Turquia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      Die Hagia Sophia (vom griechischen Ἁγία Σοφία „heilige Weisheit“; türkisch Ayasofya) oder Sophienkirche befindet sich in Eminönü, einem Stadtteil im europäischen Teil Istanbuls. Die von 532 bis 537 n. Chr. erbaute ehemalige byzantinische Kirche wurde von 1453 bis 1935 – und wird wieder seit 2020 – als Moschee genutzt. Von 1935 bis 2020 diente sie als Museum (Ayasofya Müzesi, „Hagia-Sophia-Museum“).

      Sie ist dabei nicht nur die letzte der spätantiken Großkirchen, die seit Konstantin dem Großen im Römischen Reich errichtet wurden, sondern gilt in ihrer architektonischen Einzigartigkeit oft als eine Kirche ohne Vorbilder und ohne Nachahmung. Die Kuppel der Hagia Sophia bleibt mit ursprünglich 33 Metern Spannweite bis zum heutigen Tage die größte über nur vier Tragepunkten errichtete Ziegel-Kuppel der Architekturgeschichte. Sie gilt mit der gigantischen Umsetzung und den Proportionen und der besonderen Harmonie ihres Innenraums als eines der bedeutendsten Gebäude aller Zeiten.      Leia mais

      Stage 6 - Sultan-Ahmed-Moschee

      20 de julho de 2023, Turquia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      In Europa kennt man sie als Blaue Moschee wegen ihres Reichtums an blau-weißen Fliesen, die die Kuppel und den oberen Teil der Mauern zieren, aber jünger als der Bau selbst sind. Kunsthistorisch bedeutsamer sind die Fliesen auf dem unteren Teil der Mauern und den Tribünen: Sie stammen aus der Blütezeit der İznik-Fayencen und zeigen traditionelle Pflanzenmotive, bei denen Grün- und Blautöne dominieren. Die Ausmalung des Innenraumes wurde auf Rosa geändert.

      Die Sultan-Ahmed-Moschee (türkisch Sultan Ahmet Camii) in Istanbul wurde 1609 von Sultan Ahmed I. in Auftrag gegeben und bis 1616, ein Jahr vor dem Tod des Sultans, vom Sinan-Schüler Mehmet Ağa erbaut, sie ist ein Hauptwerk der osmanischen Architektur. Nach der Säkularisation der kaum 500 Meter entfernten Hagia Sophia war sie bis Juli 2020 Istanbuls Hauptmoschee, seit dem 24. Juli 2020 ist die Hagia Sophia wieder die Hauptmoschee der Stadt.

      Photos de la Mosquée Bleue (1600 environ) et Ste Sophie (550 environ). Pour en savoir plus, allez voir Wikipedia :-)

      Ste Sophie est initialement une basilique chrétienne, devenue une mosquée jusqu'à ce que Atatürk la transforme en musée. Et Recep Tayyip Erdoğan l'a reconvertie en mosquée en 2020, suite à une proposition formulée pendant les legislatives de 2019. Les représentations chrétiennes des personnages ont été masquées... pas toujours bienLeia mais

      Dîner, puis retour côté Europe.

      29 de julho de 2023, Turquia ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

      Ferry puis tram, après un dîner côté Asie moyennement convaincant dans un restaurant pourtant recommandé. Un peu trop tendance peut-être ? Et s'appuie un peu trop sur sa carte des vins, au détriment de la qualité des plats.Leia mais

      Hammam-a, she said hammam-a!!

      5 de agosto de 2023, Turquia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      The girls needed to catch up on some homework today, so Dale and Kylie decided it was time for a bath…and it turns out we might have needed it more than we thought 😳

      We caught a taxi into the old town to wash off at the baths that were built for a very well know (and somewhat scandalous) wife of a Sultan.
      The taxi ride alone was an adventure as our drive weaved between traffic whilst simultaneously catching up on his Insta scrolling on his phone and his Turkish soaps on the iPad. Skillz!!

      We made it though and the hammam we walked into was amazing!
      The building was built atfor Hurrem Sultan (Roxelana), the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, in the 16th century (1556-1557 AD) on the same place as the ancient public baths of Zeuxippus (100-200 AD) and is right between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia.

      We were in separate ends of the massive building though in both cases the bathing itself was definitely an experience, highlighted by the somewhat violent scrubbing that resulted in a disturbing amount of dead skin and dirt falling to the bath floor 😱😶‍🌫️
      Guess that’s evidence we’ve been backpacking properly 🤔😜

      The bubble was/massage after that though was very relaxing, at least until we were drowned by buckets of water as they washed us off that is!

      Feeling spic and span, we relaxed with a cup of tea and Turkish delights before heading back to the girls to get ready for our adventure that night!      Leia mais

      Sports and Goodbyes

      8 de outubro de 2023, Turquia

      Today was another uneventful day as I recovered from the tour. Something that is destined to repeat in Dubai as I recover, as well as prepare for my tour in Africa. Waking up late, I missed my free breakfast and slept in until about lunch. After this, Sarah, Becca, and I went out for food and then wandered Istanbul for a little bit. We eventually caught up with Clarissa and walked through the Grand Bazaar again while she looked for some clothes. She was taking her time, however, and eventually, we became slack to wait, and the three of us said our goodbyes and split up to head back towards town. There were some big football games on, and so the girls agreed to sit down for some drinks and watch the football while they waited for their transfer. The f1 was also on, so most of the afternoon was spent watching multiple sports events on multiple TVs. I ended up spending more time watching this as Liverpool once again dropped points in the premier league, drawing with Brighton. Soon after this, Sarah and Becca were due to depart, and so we left the pub, I helped them gather their stuff and load up the taxi. It's safe to say it was quite depressing, but we have already made plans to do more travelling further down the line, and I hope it comes into fruition. After this, I headed back to the pub and continued watching all the sports for the day. Arsenal beat Tottenham in a very close encounter, with a late Arsenal goal being the difference between the teams. I was chatting with some British guys throughout the game, but once it was full-time, it was time to head home. I had an early night to catch up on some sleep. Unfortunately, I don't have many photos from today, just some showing Oscar Piastri getting 2nd in the F1. A big result for the rookie driver.Leia mais

      Istanbul 2 - Hagia Sofia, Cistern

      4 de maio de 2022, Turquia ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F

      The Hagia Sofia was built as a Byzantine Christian church in the 6th century and has subsequently been a mosque, a museum and now a mosque again. It was incredibly crowded and is closed to visitors during prayer. It is known for its beautiful mosaics from its time as a church, The Cistern of Philxenos is an ancient mad-made subterranean reservoir. It has 224 marble columns, each about 45 feet tall. End of day we were off for our COVID tests, required to get on the ship in two days.Leia mais

      Istanbul

      19 de março, Turquia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      - We arrived in Istanbul after a stop in Dubai, somehow managing to get a whole row on both flights 👌

      - Istanbul is super well connected by metro, trains and ferries so we got to our hotel pretty easy, this hotel was a nice change compared to Vietnam, well kept, clean, no mould and no loud motorbikes tooting. We were staying on the European side. First impressions were kebabs everywhere, cats and dogs everywhere and not a lot of English.

      - on the first full day we did a walking tour where we visited the old city/ or former constantinople with the mosques from 500 AD and a cistern from the Roman Empire. The Romans also stole a 3000 YO obelisk from Egypt which sits in Istanbul. This area was super touristy but the history was cool.
      We finished the tour and were pointed in the direction of a local kebab shop, the menus and the people don't speak a whole lot of English so it was a bit of a guessing game/translation on phone situation. We finished the day visiting the mosque built by some famous sultan and the grand bazaar/spice bazaar. Dinner involved a small restaurant in Karakoy where we had Mezze (little share plates) of dip and cheese filled filo pastry. We then found a wine bar nearby with local wines from all over Turkiye.

      - Turkish breakfast was served each morning to the room and included cheeses, cold meats, eggs, and bread which was quite tasty with Turkish tea. We visited the suburb of Balat where there are cafes, colourful houses and cool shops. The cats were friendly here and joined us for a coffee in a cool cafe. We browsed some vintage and antique shops, and found some lunch at this street slightly further out which was very local. They were hand rolling the dough (like a pizza chef) for our pides and pitas. We then stumbled on a tiny baklava shop which was super cheap and delicious. We ended the day with a boat tour which was underwhelming but had some interesting history. We ended up on the Asian/Anatolian continent/side of Istanbul where we went to the local fish market for a fresh fish sandwich and some cheap markets.

      - We started the last day with a highlight, buffalo cheese with honey and bread and baked eggs, it was so fresh and so delicious.

      - The Asian side was very local, more of a student area with bars and pubs and cheap replicas. We had an unreal doner kebab on this side and some traditional Turkish coffee brewed on coals. Our last highlight of the trip was dinner on the final night at no.19 which was a small restaurant where the woman cooked all the food and served it out of casseroles, she changed the meals each day and had no menu. It was like going to a friend's kitchen for a party. Ofcourse, we found a small baklava place on the way home before we get an early bus to Canakkale/Gallipoli the next morning.      Leia mais

      Spice girls world tour 2024

      24 de março, Turquia ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

      Der Tag begann mit 15 min Stairmaster (15% Steigung den Berg hoch) für unseren ersten Kaffee. Dann schlenderten wir durch Galata runter zum Meer und auf die anderes Seite direkt in den Spice Markt. Die ganzen Gerüche waren etwas überfordernd um diese Uhrzeit, aber nachdem wir einige Male mit Spice Girls angesprochen wurden, fanden wir auch irgendwann was wir wollten. Danach ging es durch das Viertel zum Rosengarten des Sultans (wir haben keine einizge Rose gesehen, aber der wird schon wissen was er tut). Dann begann eine Aneinanderreihung von Enttäuschungen: der Topkapi Palast wollte 42 Euro Eintritt - wir: ne auf keinen Fall. Dann wollten wir in die Hagia Sophia: 1km lange Schlange - wir: ne auf keinen Fall. Dann wollten wir in die blaue Moschee - die blaue Moschee: ne auf keinen Fall (Gebetszeit). Währenddessen waren wir permanent in einer einheitlichen Menschenmasse gefangen aus der ab und zu Fahnen von Tourguids ragten - es war abartig voll. Wir hatten so keinen Bock mehr auf Menschen, dass wir einen Kaffee auf dem Friedhof trinken gegangen sind - da hat uns wenigstens niemand angesprochen. Danach wollten wir Richtung Hafen laufen, wir sparen das hier aus, aber nach einem weiteren mental Breakdown und dem wahrscheinlich trostlosesten Ort Istanbuls, sprang irgendwann der Schalter um und wir konnten nicht mehr aufhören zu lachen, wir versuchten verzweifelt einen schal zu kaufen um bei unserem zweiten Versuch in bedagt Moscheen zu gelangen, ausgerüstet zu sein. Es endete damit, dass wir einen Todeslachkrampf bekamen und uns einen Hermes und Bogner Schal kaufen - original gefälscht wie uns stolz erklärt wurde. Am späten Nachmittag kamen wir dann problemlos in die blaue Moschee und die Hagia Sophia, waren dann aber auch gut fertig. Wir schleppten und nach Hause um daraufhin direkt weiter zum Abendessen zu gehen - wir hatten in einem libanesischen Restaurant reserviert. Als wir da waren, wurde uns erstmal erklärt, dass es nur ein Ramadan Menü gibt, nichts anderes. Da wir kein Fleisch essen wollten, bekamen wir nur die Vorspeisen des Menüs, die waren aber sehr sehr gut (wahrscheinlich die besten Falafel, die wir je hatten). Wir waren fertig und lassen die Fotos sprechen.Leia mais
