WELCOME TO ISTANBUL

Our first day (actually first hours) were spent wandering around the tourist centered Sultanahmet neighborhood,right below the Hagia Sophia. I loved the contrast of modern and historic. We came across windows displaying delicious turkish delights as well as antique, dusty lanterns, old trolleyas and new metro trains. We took the trolley and the metro (though not the same day) and enjoyed our kebabs with the view of the bustling street.
