Well the first part of our Istanbul adventure is over.

To recap some tidbits that may have been missed so far:

• We visited the Hagia Sofia and where not only blown away wıth its size but also the workmanship of te beautiful mosaics (most still hidden under plaster render) which lined the roof, arches and walls of the building. Watch out Mıchael, Helen will have you mosaicing the whole house after she vists the museum.
• We met Timmies doppleganger at a pub while watching the World Cup Final. We also didn’t appreciate the $10AU the bar was charging for the beers, although our recent aquaintance Paul found a way around that.
• We got the most impressive vıew of all of Turkey and the Golden Horn from Galata Tower
• I enjoyed a freshly grilled mackrel sandwhich with plenty of salt on the shores of the Bosphorous for 3TYL
• I also enjoyed my first can of Cola Turka

So now onto the more important details about the Turkısh Bath and our time at Nobel Hostel.
