Today we had a day at the bazaar, wandering around, seeing what we might be interested in getting when we come back at the end of the month, and getting harassed (as everyone does) by shop owners trying to entice passers by to stop at their shop. Some will even yell "You dropped your money!" to get you to stop so they can get up in your face with a hard sell. Very cheeky.
And again, lots of walking, so not very lazy after all. The photo was taken on our crossing from the Galata Bridge, and shows one of the seven hills on which Istanbul is built. Our place is at the top of that hill. Luckily there are trams that take us up as it gets quite steep in places. Not a walk for every day.
We have 2 more days in Istanbul, but are not too fussed that we didn't see everything. Must save something for next time!
