Viking grafitti …
In the Aya Sofia 👍
Aya Sofia …
Worlds largest building for nearly a thousand years !
I have been here many times, but it is still very impressive.
World famous Pudding Shop …
In the 60’ies and 70’ies it was a meeting place for hippies travelling to or from Nepal.
I was here for the first time 40 years ago when I was backpacking in Turkey, and it turned out that one of the waiters had worked here for 44 years.
So I may actually have met this guy 40 years ago !!!! Amazing.
Arrived in Istanbul …
And a well deserved beer after surviving Istsnbul rush hour traffic 🍺
Burj al Babas …
Was a housing development project with 732 identical houses looking like small Disney castles.
The project went bankrupt when tge houses was nearly finished, and is now just a very weird abandoned ghost town !!!
