Turkey

A few more pictures of Istanbul, Im not going to write too much, im a bit sleepy. This is the renouned Grand Bazaar.
We took a boat trip along the river that joins Asian and European Istanbul... saw many beautiful Mosques...

Topkapı Palace
The Blue Mosque.
MARMARIS
For the last week Okan and I have been living it up in Marmarıs, on the Mediterrainean coast. We did a bunch of daytrips including a bıt of scuba diving and lots of sun.

Ruins of an ancient monastary.

Marmaris beach.
And you thought Canadians were patriotic, the Turks love their flag more than we do!
It was Okan,s first dive and we had a great day for it. Lots of fishies and great visibilty.

View over Marmarıs city.Okan swimming in a waterfall.
Mud baths!
A 5000 year old tomb.

So Im back in Istanbul for 2 more days to do a bit more exploring and to prepare myself for the long journey back to Melbourne... I can,t wait.
Much love. Allison
