Istanbul V

Istanbul, Galata Bridge area. Golden Horn looking toward Bosphorus. Istanbul is becoming one of my favorite cities. The ferry docks, car ferry dock, bus station, metro station. The bridge has two levels, and the bottom level is pedestrian with small eating places and shops.

Looking toward Taksim, Galata Tower. Still the European side.

Istanbul IV

We spent the night in Istanbul and then had all day Monday to walk around Istanbul before catching our 2330 flight to Jakarta. These pictures are in Sultenahmet close to the Galata Bridge and Spice Bazaar. I liked the mosaic decorations on the buildings. The first three are of commercial buildings and the bottom two are a little mosque.
