SUSAN, SUNNY
AND I headed
off to the grand
bazaar and spent
the morning there.
i bought some
lovely large
embroidered
fabrics for the
wall, very happy
with them.
then we headed
down to ortakoy
for lunch and did
the bosphorus
ferry ride -
it's fabulous
 |
| gorgeous italian palace |
the ataturk bridge over the bosphorus, always busy
 |
| on the way home we had to walk past the soccer stadium - there was a match on so the food sellers were out in force - these kofte stands always look really terrific |
 |
| sunny got into the mood and bought a besiktas team scarf - the place was absolutely pumping |
SUNSET DRINKS on the roof of the Londra - that monument to good taste -
it's a treasure of a place
Anne, I'm loving all the photos you are posting...and wish I was planning a trip to Istanbul!
ReplyDeleteThe earrings you showed are beautiful; hope you splurged! You probably already know the place, but when we were there we went to a fabulous restaurant Dmetri told us about: it's up some stairs at the entrance (or exit?) of the Spice Market. Not cheap, but definitely worth every Turkish lira! Keep having fun!
thanks marjorie - yes i have splurged, but with my usual natural restraint ;0) last time i came to istanbul i had dmetri's wonderful two page list of things to see and places to eat - he should write
