On our second day in Istanbul, we toured the Basilica Cistern, a 6th century underground water storage facility. The adults were awed by the beauty and the skill of the ancient engineers but the boys really loved the carp swimming in the dark. Then we strolled the Topkapi Palace, the residence of the sultans of the Ottoman Empire. The next day we took a ferry up & down the Bosphorus before strolling around our neighborhood of our hotel, the Galata district. We leave Istanbul tomorrow, so our Internet connections may become a little sporadic - but we'll be logging the stories & the photos anyway! Here are more photos from our stay in Istanbul.
