Topkapı Palace
the primary residence of the Ottoman Sultans for approximately 400 years
we convinced this guard to pose for us.
one of the many beautiful garden on the palace
Ottoman library within the premise
overlooking the city of Istanbul
everywhere we toured, it was intrinsically designed with real gold and precious stones
the apartment of the Ottoman Crown Prince
the bedroom where the royal family slept - made with gold and pearls
the 'harem' quarter, have to say the least fun part of the palace tour.
Bosphorus (Istanbul Bogazi, Bogazici) Tour
we came across this ship - the Turkish gov't has given $$ millions to the famine crisis
the sunset was just so beautiful, overlooking the city
