Day 3 Istanbul

We began our day at 8.15am with a visit to The Spice Market then back to the Bosphorus for a 1hr daylight cruise. It was a great way to see the layout of the place and the wealth along the seashore. Homes worth $50m up to $150m. From there we were taken back to our hotel. By then it was time for a cool beer and pizza for lunch at a little eatery along our cobbled street. All the roads in this part of Istanbul were made for horse and carts with very little room for the traffic of today. Tony and I took a wander around the nearby streets of our hotel then it was time to put the feet up.
 It's 5pm and I can hear the call to prayer echoing over the city.
Its now time to repack our bags ready for an early start to the airport in the morning.
