More adventure!

Yesterday we woke up early (too early thanks to jet lag!) and so got an early start to the day. We took a long ride on the light rail, walked to a metro and then took the metro to the very edge of the old city- the Theodosian walls, which are 1500 years old and, for a thousand years were never breached.

From there we went to one of the most beautiful churches in the world. It's called Chora and is decorated on the inside with gorgeous mosaic pictures of the life of Jesus.

We then walked back towards the center of town. For fifteen minutes we walked by store after store selling wedding dresses! We'd never seen so many in our lives!

We went on to see the most respected mosque in Istanbul. To go in we had to take off our shoes and Chloe had to put a scarf on her head.

We then went to biggest bazaar in the world but didn't buy anything.


Then we went back to our hotel to nap. It was a full day in Istanbul. To top it all off we browsed in some local shops before dinner and Chloe found some fun, beautiful and creative jewelry.
