Back in Istanbul

Christmas Day in Istanbul, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

We arrived to warm sunshine in Istabul this morning and spent the afternoon walking down the Istiklal Caddesi to the Galata Tower and across the Golden Horn to the New Mosque. It is National Day next week and there are Turksigh flags flying everywhere.

Fred and I remarked as the taxi driver brought us over teh Galata Bridge that it felt like coming home, so familiar is this great city becoming to us.

It seems that I very stupidly left the cable which connects the camera to the PC behind in Asmterdam so am unable to uplaod any photos, which is a pain. I need to find a cable asap.
