ISTANBUL DAY 9 - Bospherus cruise
As tomorrow it will be already our last day and we want to go back to the Grand Bazar, we decided to return to the habour and take a cruise of our own, one on the Asian side and one on the European side. It turned out that from both cruise ships we almost had the same view, only sometimes you were nearer to the river side.
We took our tram to Asia and took a sightseeing boat named "Arthur" of course it couldn't be another name even by pure coincidence !
The atmosphere on the first ship was very cheerful, there was music and the people danced. A young Turkish women came over and asked if she could sit between us and have a picture taken. Of course we agreed ! First we spoke English with her but then it turned out that she was a teacher in German ! Her parents had worked in Germany and she was at school there, so she spoke perfectly German. In Istanbul then she got her teacher degree. She was happy to speak German and we chatted together. The other women were also teachers it was a very funny group.
The Turkish girls, and one they didn't like at all ! The German teacher is the one on the left. These black crows are not liked at all !
Here we are on the other ship on the European side it was much bigger and also more elegant, if a ship can be elegant. The surprise was it was cheaper instead of 12 € for the first ship, here we payed only 10 € for 1 1/2 h cruise. It was wonderful sitting there and watching the beautiful landscape along the river side.
The roman city wall and in front a Muslim graveyard
we drove under the bridge which relates Europe to Asia, an old palace was just standing underneath. I hope for them that they don't hear the cars over their heads.
We approached the stop and went off the ship. Just besides was a little covered place with benches and little chairs and tables.
We thought it would be nice to have this grilled fish sandwich again. And it was delicious !
Dominique eats with appetite
The fish comes fresh from the sea and is grilled on the fisher boat
Under our table was a happy fat cat, who wasn't bothered at all by all these people
That's the sandwich.
We crossed the place in front of the habour where many little food stands are, took the tram and went back to our hotel.

The rest of the day I tried to prepare this post, with Internet interruptions and some @&§% and then sunbathing and swimming on the roof.

ISTANBUL DAY 8
Today we choose the Dolmabahce Palace for a visit. I had seen it already from outside when we did our boat tour. We took our tram and went from Europe to Asia, as the Palace is on the other side.
I never had imagined what a beautiful palace it was ! I have seen Versailles near Paris, but it seemed like a garden shed to me when I had visited this one !
It is not that old it was built between the years 1843 and 1856.
The Palace was guarded by special soldiers, one stood like a wax figure there and didn't move a bit. It was like these wax figures you see sometimes on the streets. Everybody posed besides the poor guy he certainly was sweating under his helmet and suddenly a second one arrived to lift the helmet several times so that his head got a little air.
Before we entered the palace we all had to put a plastic around our shoes, a few young man forgot it and had to come out to put them on. We all looked very elegant.
We were not the only once who had the idea of visiting the palace today.
The world's largest Bohemian crystal chandelier is in the center hall. The chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tonnes.
Unfortunately no camera was allowed inside the palace I could just take this picture by zooming from outside.
When I took this one to show the beautiful ceilings , a guardian made me a sign that even from outside I wasn't allowed to take a picture from inside !
But as usual when something is not allowed it becomes interesting to me so I am very proud that I could take this picture of the famous Crystal Staircase which has the shape of a double horseshoe and is built of Baccarat crystal, brass and mahogany. It was like in a fairy tale, it wouldn't have surprised me if a princess with a crown would have showed up suddenly.
Outside was a parking for strollers ! that looked so funny !
the park too was beautiful and had several lion sculptures.
When we got out of all this beauty and another world, we were hungry and looked for a little café for our Turkish sandwich. But we didn't find anything in Asia so we took the tram back to Europe and stopped at the habour.
There we found this beautiful golden carriage where a man in a phantasy uniform sold fresh grilled fish in a sandwich. Dominique bought two, and we sat down
here on little chairs and tables and ate with pleasure our freshly grilled fish, while looking at the Ferries and excursion boats. Then we took the tram to the hotel.
The afternoon we spent as usual here on the roof. The waiter told us that he lives in the European quarter, but on the Asian side, and there are all cultures and religions living together in harmony. He said that he is woken up by the Mosque's speaker calling for prayers, while his brother is woken up by church bells because he lives besides a catholic church. Only the Jews who live there since centuries don't make any noise, at least not religious once.
BTW I have my new sunglasses on my nose !

ISTANBUL DAY 7
The weather was again like out of a fairy tale, so we decided to visit the Grand Bazar in Istambul. It is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with more than 58 covered streets and over 4000 shops ! It also houses two mosques, two hamams, four fountains, and multiple restaurants and cafes. The whole complex consists of 12 major buildings and has 22 doors. Don't think that we made 4000 shops !
We walked down there it was not too hot yet and we entered door 7 which was the closest one. And there you are in another world. The architecture of the buildings is beautiful and the painted ceilings real artworks. Each wing has another decoration. The shops are side by side. We window shopped and also bought some little gifts which I can't name here because of our families ! The time flew by and at a moment we were tired sat down in a cute little corner surrounded by fake bushes (!) and had a delicious apple tea. This tea is so good you really taste the fresh apples. It is the National drink and is offered to guests.
Then we continued and walked through some other wings, until we had enough. We asked for door 7 to get out, impossible not to get lost in there !
The inside of the Grand Bazar
and Dominique entering a shop
a fountain in the middle of all these different streets
We had lunch in "our" little café before we returned back by tram. On the picture above you see a Grandma with her little granddaughter.Even with a scarf women too smoke !!
BTW we noticed that there are lots of women working just like in our Western world, there are police women, bankers, Hotel Managers etc. Women had already the right to vote in the 50 the, when we still were far behind.
We were too tired and it was too hot to walk up the hill.
These trams are very modern and comfortable !
Yesterday I had troubles with Google I couldn't access my gmail account and my blogs had disappeared. After two hours of not ladylike behaving I finally managed to get my account back and Google in Turkish !! Which was Greek to me. I followed my instinct and clicked on all kind of words and suddenly I saw "English" clicked again and had a readable Google back and a nervous breakdown.
Today Internet is slow but it works !
The rest of the day we spent on our roof beach and I had a delicious trout
The view on the roof by night !

ISTAMBUL DAY 6
The weather is still beautiful we have 27 °C (8? F) but it doesn't feel too hot as there is always a little wind. We decided to visit Topkapi Palace. Therefore we took the tram again. I had looked at the numbers of stops to get to Topkapi, and had counted 7. We took the tram and drove and drove and suddenly we crossed the bridge and went from Europe to Asia ! Have you ever done this with a tram for not even half a € ? Dominique who replaces my Madame GPS told me that there is something wrong because the Topkapi should be near to our hotel and now we were on an other continent. She decided we should get out and take the next tram back.
A friendly Turkish man, who by coincidence had also be a tourist guide and spoke a perfect French explained to us where we were and where we had to go. Imagine the fun we had when we discovered our mistake ! So we returned seven stops and got out at the right place !
of course we had a special reception ! a loud one too.
Sultan Arthur was also there. I thought he had stayed in Waterloo. Funny that Harem's cats are also white males !
The Topkapi Palace is enormous. In earlier times it was home to many Sultans with a well furnished Harem, of about 1000 women ! Poor man, if he had to fulfill his marital duties without any Viagra, I wonder when he had time to visit them all.
It had been transformed in 1924 into a museum of the imperial era. The palace complex has hundreds of rooms and chambers, but only the most important are accessible to the public today.
Dominique shows the entrance and I am standing under my personal golden pergola
We wandered around and looked at all these beautiful weapons decorated with diamonds, turquoise and rubies, saphires etc. One diamond was very huge and had 82 karats was first put on a ring (it probably covered half of the hand) and became then a brooch to be fixed on the Sultan's turban.
We also saw a golden cradle and many other things, but in one room we didn't go because there were so many people lined up, it would have taken at least 1 h to get into the door. It was mostly porcelain, jewelry, etc. But we didn't have the courage to line up in the heat to see some dishes, rings and bracelets or whatever was in there.

A guide with a very funny umbrella, then entrance and the long line to get into one of the Palace's rooms.
visit finished
The whole tour took us more than 2 h and we were quiet tired and hungry when we finally got out. We found a cute little café where we ate our chicken Durum, the traditional turkish sandwich. Then we took the tram and returned to our hotel. I went on the roof to take a sunbath, Dominique into her bed for a little nap.
And our day ended with a nice meal in the hotel restaurant looking over Istanbul by night and listening to the 3D call for prayers. The dog had probably used earplugs or had decided not to pray anymore.

WHAT DID YOU DO THIS WEEKEND
(
Helps you to remember what you have done on the weekend of June 18. You never know if you need an alibi ! If you participate please put the little logo on the top of your post and leave your link.
Istanbul day 5
As I wrote already our hotel is located in the middle of Istanbul and unfortunately also surrounded by 3 mosques. They are very beautiful, but they have a big disadvantage, all 4 h a speaker (now a CD) calls for prayers. Normally it should be at exactly the same time, but one Speaker always is a few seconds later than the two others which then doesn't sound like stereo anymore but like 3 D music which hurts your ears. The dog who lives on the ground floor in the house next our hotel, sleeps outside during night and likes to pray too, especially at 4.30 am. When the speaker sings Aaaaaalaaaaah ... little pause, the dog makes Aaaaawooooooo ... little pause. Speaker continues, dog too. The prayer call during the day is nice and gives us a holiday feeling, our church bells are also noisy, but so early in the morning and with a religious dog ... !
Today, Sunday we made another city tour, which took us first to the Spice Bazar
Besides spices of all kinds, there was also the usual stuff like jewelry, leather bags and clothes, souvenirs etc . We quickly had made the tour and while I was waiting for the others I took the picture of the old lady selling food for the uncountable pigeons which apparently bring luck and prosperity (not dirt !) and found the little boy so cute who hugged his little sister while black ghost mom was on the mobile phone.
Then we took this ship for a tour on the Bosphorus. Unfortunately nobody could understand the explanations neither in English nor in French, because the microphones didn't work very well on board. We all were a little angry about that, our guide helped us from time to time, until we realized that he only knew the things he had to explain in French and nothing else.
That's what we saw amongst a lot of other things but I will write a detailed post on my travel blog once I have recovered from my holidays.
I took pictures and watched the people some of them slept peacefully through the interesting history. Dominique sat besides two guys with a turban and I teased her saying that he is her new love.
I thought I can still read afterwards what I have seen. Dominique has a very good book with pictures so it is easy to recognize the buildings and fortresses we saw.
Tram stops are very easily indicated, now we have no problem anymore to discover Istanbul on our own without expensive guides.
We then took the tram back to near our hotel, but before we both had to go badly for little girls. Usually besides any mosque there is also a WC, so we looked for a Mosque and found what we were looking for. The toilets are quiet special, they existed years ago in France and Italy too, its a porcelain square with a hole in the middle and a place for your feet on each side. Then you just aim at the hole. I did, it had been a long time I had done this in the woods, and bending over my sunglasses suddenly disappeared in the hole. No way to get them out of the shit, even if they would have been a designer model, I just decided to buy new once, which I did on the way back. In the hotel I noticed that they were from "Gucci", for not even 7 € ! Of course a fake and usually not allowed anymore, but they look very chic on my nose !
After that "shock" we had our lunch i.e. a Doner which is ideal for a light lunch.
The evening we spent as usual in the restaurant on the roof.

DAY 4 IN ISTANBUL
For the first time in my life I took a tram with aircondition ! I have to send our minister of public transports to Istanbul to learn how a modern tram should look like ! Clean, elegant and cool !!
We had 3 stops to do and while we were in the tram we met a very English looking gentleman who turned out to be an American from Missouri and who had lived for 15 years in Brussels and most of the time in Waterloo ! When he retired he went back to the States. Isn't the world small ??
Today we wanted to take the sightseeing bus to make a tour around whole Istanbul, so that we would have an overlook to where we want to go back and have a closer look.
Apparently the sun starts burning my brain because I forgot to take a picture of our red colored Sightseeing bus ! We took it at the very touristic place in front of the ancient Mosque Haya Sofia.
I thought this vehicle would also be a very good idea for our policemen in Belgium ! They could run faster behind a criminal !
We crossed the very long first bridge connecting Europe with Asia. It was so funny to see all along the bridge fishermen side by side trying to get a fish !
Some Graffiti expert had an excellent idea ! "Building Bridges between the Cultures " !
On the Oriental side we saw very beautiful Victorian style buildings, the hotel which was for the Orient Express passengers where Agatha Christie used to stay and many embassies
Back to the Occident we drove along the 22 km (14 mi) city wall built by the Romans.
It was really impressive to see how long it was and how well it was conserved
It was very interesting and at least now we know where we want to go back. There is so much to see !
We were too tired in the evening to go out and look for a restaurant so we ate on the roof again, I had a very tasty trout and Dominique lamb chops.
