What a luxury. Today we had the whole day, incuding the night, in one city. This morning while I tried to get the website up-to-date Nina went exploring, some nearby places such as Gulhane Park, the water front below Haiga Sophia, and the parking lot were we spent almost 2 weeks in late 2014. It was nice to see that the parking lot still exists and overlanders are still using it as a base for exploring Istanbul. Note the Mercedes overland truck in the second last photo below.

After lunch and a rest we both walked down to the Spice Market and walked along the bridge over Bosphorous.
