Istanbul – Day 3

Day three was the best day yet. We slept in and missed breakfast because yesterday was such a long day.

Today was boat cruise day. We took the boat from our hotel to the largest of the paradise islands, on the continent of Asia. It was very small and reminded me of Mackinaw Island but more crowded. We walk around for a while and had a drink in a cafe.

During the boat ride back, we had a great lunch with traditional Turkish foods. Not Bob’s favorite but pretty good.

We then went to the Grand Bazaar for some shopping. What a crazy place that is. Everything you could possibly want in a single location. To buy anything, you must “haggle”. I found it funny that I was haggling with both the shop keeper and my wife. He said “$150”, I said “$90”, Lynn said “OK $125”. hahaha

We are now heading for dinner with the company. I’ll send more posts later.
