Istanbul Day 4

   
My last day in Istanbul (see day 1, day 2 & day 3) was spent going to the Archaelogy Museum, walking through the spice market & around the old quarter & seeing the Blue Mosque one last time! Here's a few things I saw:-

     
Amazing heads & the oldest love poem....

 
The tiled pavilion...


   
Beautiful Doors & Gates...

Carved Tombs...

 
 Amazing heads on Sarcophagi...

 
 Carvings & students drawing....

 
 More heads and ancient jugs...

    
Old writing systems and old patterns that could be still used today...

    
Small collections & beautifully patterned jugs...

More mosques...

 
 Chillies, Sponges & Sausages in the Egyptian Spice Market....

 
 Beautiful Old Wooden & Brick Buildings & Stray Cats in Gardens...

A different view of the Blue Mosque....

 
 Last minute look at the unbelievable Blue Mosque.

Thanks Istanbul for sharing all your great treasures!
