Guess what we did today?? Thats right went back to the Bazaar.? Its just too much fun.? Istanbul is very hustly and bustly(not real words) unlike Romania and it is refreshing in a weird way.? Although we did go to the Bazaar again, it was only after a long visit to the Topepki Palace.? These sultans had it nice.? They was a 400 room harem, the 5th largest diamond in the world, hordes of jewelry, 5 kitchens, weapons stash, and a sweet view.? Again the crowds were very large and there was quite a bit of wait in between the exhibits.? The tourism is good for us though because it forces pretty much everyone around the tourism to know English, which they should!? We also saw something funny today.? On the way to the Bazaar there was a 12 year old smoking a cigarette and playing soccer.? I guess they just start young over there.? It is quite amazing though because on the packs of cigarettes they have the words in large print Cigarettes Kill, or something blunt and to this effect.? We left Istanbul about 8:00 headed towards Greece. I think we both would have liked to stay another day or so, but if we wanted anytime in Athens we had to leave
