Istanbul - Boatin' the Bosphorus

Took a cruise today along the Bosphorus, almost as far as the Black Sea. Spend a few hours on lunch and a viewing a castle before heading back. Head into town for my last Turkish kebab. I have been spoiled for them, and will probably not be able to bring myself to eat the inferior British variety for a while.

It takes me forever to get to sleep, but I'm up early the next day to fly home.

Istanbul - Over the Bridge

I walk over the Golden Horn with Steve, a doctor I met last night, as well as Eli and her two friends who came to meet her yesterday. We go up a tower for the view and wander about the back streets. I leave them to visit the military museum and catch up back at the hostel. It's been a pretty relaxed day for me.
