Istanbul, not Constantinople

(I can't get that This Must be Giants song out of my head.)

I arrived in Istanbul 4 October for a quick weekend visit. Only 3 hours from Berlin, it's an easy trip to make.

I really didn't know what to expect. I bought my ticket only 2 days before arriving here, so I didn't do as much research into the area as I usually do.

I'll be here through Wed morning so there are still more sights, smells, and sounds to take in. I've been snapping lots of pictures so once I get back to Berlin I will post some impressions.

My first thought: I need to come back to Turkey and explore some more.
