How have you been? Back from Dubai & Istanbul and going off again. Only managed to upload some pics.
The Burj Al Arab... said to be the world's only 7-star hotel. Was offered by a sheikh to dine there but thats a story for another day. His bodyguards even insisted on washing my sandy feet!
Turkish market.
The Blue Mosque.. Sultanahmet. Majestic, humbling.
Interior of the mosque
Istanbul is a pretty city, lovely blend of Middle east and Europe.. but for it to be part of the EU... still a long way to go.
