Persongalleriet #387: Istanbul, Day 1
For the benefit of my international friends at deviantArt and facebook, I'll write my "live"-blog from Istanbul in English. I hope you Swedes won't have a problem with that. You are after all in the vast majority according to the Flag Counter.
So, my first full day in Istanbul is at an end. My head is spinning with all the impressions! And my memory cards almost filled with 1122 snaps. Yesterday was just travel. Didn't take the camera out of the bag. It was almost 10 o'clock before I arrived at the hotel and I just chilled in the hotel bed with BBC World on the telly and the usual photo sites on the laptop.
Today I went for a long walk, from 8:30 am to 3 pm, with just a few stops to rest my legs and to replenish. The hotel is close to the Grand Bazaar, so that's where I started, just walking straight through it. I'll get back to it later.
Then on through the alleys to Eminönü with the ferries, bus station, the Spice Bazaar and the New Mosque. After that over the Galata Bridge and up the hill to the Galata Tower, continuing through Beyoglu to Taksim Square. Took the subway back to the University area, which is a short walk from my hotel.
Now it's time for dinner. I'll get back to you later!

Ja, herregud! Man får skärpa sig så man inte fotar allt och alla man möter rätt upp och ner!
Kul att du gillar min glada kartongman, Matti!

Gick in i din blogg och tittade lite, kul att se dina Istanbulbilder också! Internet är väldigt långsamt här på hotellet, så jag får titta mer när jag kommer hem.
Går tillbaka till basaren en stund idag. Får se om jag hittar ut? :-)
Stort tack, Tommy!

Ha det fint och ser fram emot mer bilder från Istanbul.
Tack så mycket, Mikael!
Jag matar ut så många bilder jag hinner! :-)
Ha det gott!

Som du kanske vet så växlar jag flitigt mellan färg och sv/v. Tycker båda kan passa för olika bilder.
