4 days later in Istanbul

Time flies. Istanbul is a very nice place. People are friendly, the weather beats what I am used to from Denmark and the food is exciting and delicious. We have been around to different places doing touristy things, but trips have also been made off the beaten track. I haven't felt the presence of other tourists a lot except from when whe have visited the very most touristy places. I think I will though tomorrow, where I am going to visit the Topkapi Palace, Saint Sofia and the Sultanamet, which I believe make up 'Top 3' of the most visited sites of Istanbul.

It is a facinating city in the sense that it is centered around the Bosphorus strait, which means that you get some great views over the city from above, with the sea in the background and from the sea and across the highly dense city-scapes. I'm no great photographer, but when I get a chance I'll upload a few pictures from my time here.

Yesterday I wish I'd been a better photographer, so I had been able to capture the ambience of the little backstreet where we had dinner. The ambience was unique, the food excellent and the street was buzzing with guests, salesmen, musicians and waiters hunting for more customers for their restaurent. It really has to be experienced, so I you can see this as a recommendation. Post a comment, if you'd like some advise/details on where to go!
