Early Morning Arrival in Istanbul

Today we were in Istanbul. We had fabulous weather. We did two half day tours and had a free lunch thrown in! Our morning tour (with a guide called Atilla!) visited the Suleimaniye Mosque, the Chora and the Pierre Loti Hill. Our afternoon tour was with a grumpy woman with a squeaky voice, we never did catch her name. With "Grumpy" we did a walking tour that took in the old town, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque, so-named because of the blue decor inside. Let me tell you that late in the afternoon when it's packed with tourists who have been de-sneakered, it could well be named the smelly foot mosque!!!!
