On the next day, July 16th, we went to Topkapi. We went to the Harem and then had lunch in the Topkapi restaurant overlooking the Bosporus.

Later in the day, we all went to the cistern. It was interesting, but compared to Topkapi (the same price), a bit of a disappointment. Then Diana and Gill went back to the hotel – Diana’s foot was bothering her – and Mako and I went to the Grand Bazaar. Mako is a tough bargainer! She got two pairs of genes at rock-bottom prices. (Sorry.)



In the evening, we took a boat-ride on the Bosporus. Included was dinner and entertainment. Finally, there was dancing and we all had a good time.
