Welcome to Istanbul

A cruise liner through the battlements of the city wall, from my bedroom window. What a welcome to Istanbul
Aya Sofya-A secular state.Ataturk would have welcomed the flags which were to commmemorate the impending anniversary of his death.
The Blue Mosque at dusk on my only night in istanbul
In the streets leading up to the blue mosque. Demonstrations of patriotic fervour


View from the Armada hotel's breakfast roof terrace. A good start for my journey down to Gallipoli
