We’ve arrived in Istanbul and the temperature was a lovely 25C. Utter bliss after the scorching days in Greece. We’re staying at the same hotel we stayed at in 2018 at the end of traveling the Old Silk Road - good memories. Hagia Sophia is right outside our window. So beautiful. We have 6 days here before boarding a ship bound for Venice.

| Sultan Ahmed Mosque at dusk |
Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque) glorious in the twilight. The city comes alive with the haunting adhan which echoed across this city of over 3000 mosques.
