Wouldn't you know it, Sally said that I should take lots of photos. Then the best one comes along and I didn't have my camera. Not that I could have done it justice.
We looked out of the top floor balcony of Suzan's office at the Turkish-German Orient Institute. Laid out before us was a panorama that took your breath away, stretching from high up the Bosphorus to our left, into the Sea of Marmara to our right, across to Asia and around to the Golden Horn. The expanse of blue water in the afternoon sun was mesmerising but here was 1,000 years or more of history: The Galata Tower, Suleymaniye and Blue Mosques, Aya Sofia and the Grand Bazaar, plus the Bosphorus bridges.
Sorry that I did not get a picture but the view is stored away on my own little internal SIM card. (and Suzan said later that she maybe able to send me one)
