Istanbul one of the places I really wanted to come and see. The culture being so different to ours. We sailed through the Dardenelles and past Gallopoli at about 6am of which the Hubby got up to see . It took another eight hours to get to Istanbul and we sailed into the harbour amongst a lot of other local pleasure crafts and yachts. It was a bit blustery for them and I a bit of a choppy sea because there were so may of them wizzing about
We arrived in Istanbul about 4pm and went ashore to find the baazar and the spice market. Unfortunately by the time we got there things were wrapping up so we sat in a restaurant on the bridge(but under the bridge) and watched the hundreds of fisherman catching little sprat type fish.
As we ate our meal we watched the sun set over this incredible city of 17million people. Tomorrow is another exciting day here.
