P3 Day 24 of 25 - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 – Istanbul, Turkey

Day 24: Free Time - What did we Miss? 






Breakfast: In the hotel.

Morning: Free Time - We go back to Galata Tower and Spice Market

Lunch: Our choice to explore local fare.  We try the Bambi Café.  Sure hope we weren’t eating...?

Afternoon: Free Time.  We walk back across the Galata Bridge.  Have a chance to walk on the steps made famous through photo of Henri Cartier-Bresson in 1956.  Come back in time to meet with Reyan who had earings and necklace made for Carol by an artist friend.

Dinner: Your choice to explore local fare.  Carol is wanting a “cheez-burger in paradise”  Burger King anyone?

Evening: We do our final night walk along Iskitlal soaking in the sights (thousands of people walking and talking), sounds (street musicians), and smells (food cooking on a grille - corn on the cob and chestnuts)  - yummy.
