(Pleasantly) stuck in Istanbul

Due to our lack of planning and full buses and hotels, we are in Istanbul for 2 extra nights. We leave tomorrow. Here are some of our latest shots.


A visit to the big Ottoman Palace: home to the Sultan for centuries.

A popular activity is fishing off the Galata Bridge.

We took a boat up the Bosphorus yesterday as far as the Black Sea (the Ukraine is somewhere back there).

A little piece of Jerome's home town (Altona) in the form of an Istanbul doner stand.
