Cycled: None
On Day 2 of the first-time in Istanbul tourist game we visited the Archeological Museum (aka Sarcophagus central), braved the bazaars (Grand and Spice), ate a fish sandwich under a bridge, checked into the shadiest hostel yet, and weaved through Taksim square.
Archeological Museum of Istanbul
 |
| Madalene stands next to a giant sarcophagus to give a little bit of perspective. |
 |
| Clearly upstanding fantasy fans should visit Istanbul. I couldn't help but think... |
 |
| Is that the Southern Oracle ? |
 |
| And then there was off season Santa Claus selling Turkish flags outside. |
SPECIAL FEATURE: Things you could buy in Istanbul's bazaars...
 |
| Turd sticks. |
 |
| Shoes. |
 |
| Feet. |
 |
| Fish. |
 |
| Spices. |
 |
| But how to decide? |
 |
| Base it on shirt colour. I did. |
 |
| Purchases will require that you wade through this. |
 |
| When outside it looks like this. |
SPECIAL FEATURE: How to load a truck, Istanbul style...
 |
| Line all your shit up along the road. |
 |
| Get all of your friends to put down their cay for a minute. |
 |
| Fit em with these backpack magigers. |
 |
| Disregard any sensible safety precautions. Hope for the best. |
 |
| Mosque at night. |
 |
| Bridge at night. |
 |
| The entrance to Little Wing Hostel was not easy to find. |
 |
| Yes, this is the right place. |
 |
| The room started at 100 lira per night. We settle on 50 lira per night. |
