In Istanbul

Ok, can't resist this quote, since we're crusing on the Nieuw Amsterdam.
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks.
-- They Might Be Giants



City Walls

Just one of the 6 minarets of the Blue Mosque

Inside the Blue Mosque: lots of people, lots of glitz, lots of lights

Inside the Hagia Sophia: lots of people, lots of glitz, lots of lights

Inside the Grand Bazaar: lots of people, lots of glitz, lots of lights
