It’s great to be back in Istanbul. I can switch from endless churches to endless mosques.
Starting with the Blue Mosque which was being restored when I visited in 2022, so you could glimpse very little under a lot of scaffolding. It is now glowing and beautiful.
No shortage of crowds enjoying it.
Less than a five minute walk away is another beautiful mosque…that I essentially had all to myself.
Rustem Pacha – a favourite of mine for all of the tile work.
Kebab?
After nearly six weeks of travelling, it’s time to head back to Canada and enjoy the oncoming summer.
Fantastic, and sounds like you had a great time.
