Random Istanbul

The weekend came and went. Even with the few hours of sleep, it went by in a flash!
It was great and there are some stories that will stay with us for the sake of our credibility :p (what happens in Istanbul stays in Istanbul!). However I collected a photographic summary of what Istanbul was for us in these short two and a half days. Also, as I've said before in another post, a picture is worth a thousand words! ;)

A good way of summing up what the city is

Fishing fishing and fishing! There is a lot of water surrounding and going through Istanbul and, apparently, lots of fish!





Mosques: the Blue Mosque and some of the other 498 857 mosques all around the city








Other random photos
To reach our apartment we had to climb a lot of stairs. In the last night, when we were already a bit tired, it looked like it was a thousand miles away.

On the boat to Asia
Pinar, the national ham brand! (joke for Portuguese speakers only, sorry)
Between Europe and Asia
The tenderness of a statue
Fish fish, does anyone want some fish?

The most common game is black gammon but we didn't remember the rules, so we played checkers
Cats, there were a lot of cats!
The rainbow stairs
They sure have a good sense of humour

Random Morocco

Morocco is now some days/weeks away, but I feel that there was something left to share. I mentioned the blue city and the desert experience but this Oh so busy trip, took us to many other places and showed many other aspects of this big country, so near to us and yet, so different! So different in so many things and yet, alike in some others.

The final layout of the trip, that was drawn along the way

But as images are worth thousand words (Portuguese saying), here are some photos from all over Morocco.
