Castle

After doing lots of sightseeing around Istanbul, we took the ferry that goes all the way down the Bosphorus, stopping in a little town at the end for a few hours so we could have lunch. There were lots of nice views.
The next day we both were very ill, so we were stuck in bed for two days, not eating anything. Fortunately there was running water again in the hostel by that time, the two days prior there was no running water anywhere in the old part of the city due to pipe work. Not fun when you are spending all day out in 90 degree weather. So, we went to the Grand Bazaar on our last day but didn't have much energy to buy stuff or take pictures there.
A big thanks to our Turkish friends Teresa and Hursu, who took us to dinner on our last night, and then translated at the pharmacy so we could get the right medicine! We were very grateful.
