Istabul , Turkey

We headed back to Istanbul following the Anzac Day services.  We visited Topkaki Palace (the Sultans old place), the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Markets.   Friendly Turkish guy at the Spice Market, he likes Niges sunnies Nige is excited about all the tea - sounds weird but it was pretty nice smelling tea!
