Last day Istanbul

The 3 day festival at the end of Ramadan is over now so we headed off to the spice markets and the grand bazaar. Wonderful full colours and aromas. Ike was interested in the turkish delight... check out the large blocks. Again Ike wanted to buy me some gold jewelery but by this time we had spent all or our money on a handwoven silk carpet (small).

In the afternoon I (Chriss) went to the haman for my turkish bath, blissfull... laying on heated marble slabs constructed in the 1500's.

Dinner was golmosas (not sure of spelling), very thin pancakes with filled with spinach, meat etc. Tomorrow off to Edinburgh, last leg of our trip. Ike thought the pomegranate juice was not sweet enough for him. The previous night we had pide (Turkish pizza) for dinner.

Love Chriss and Steve xxx

HI there
You took me back to my travels in Turkey. Glad you too thought the hamim was blissful Chriss. Did you find the Dervishes dizzy? Or at least, made you dizzy?
Can't believe your grand holiday is nearly over. Had comp problems at school but will try to get kids to respond soon. Safe travels, Gabby
