Our first two days in Turkey

We arrived on Friday night to Istanbul for our pre-trip around the world, where we will spend 6 nights. The first thing that shocked me from Turkish people is their hospitality and will to help foreigners. Just in these two days we've met many people and even got invited to the house of a group of students while we were waiting for our host to take us to our accommodation. We have also met Muhammed and Muhas, who have been kindly guiding us around the city.

We've been to Uskudar, a neighbourhood in the Asian side where we had a traditional Turkish breakfast and seen Kiz Kulesi, one of the symbols of the city. We also visited Mihrimah Sultan Mosque, which is dedicated to the beauty of women.

 The Spice Bazaar, which is very close to Galata Bridge, is not as big as the Grand Bazaar but personally I liked it more. Both are very touristic, I was amazed by the fact that all the shops staff started to speak Spanish to us even if they didn't hear us speaking at all.

Ari is enjoying the Mosques dress code for women. Here you can see her in front of Sultan Ahmet Camii (the Blue Mosque) very happy.
