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
