Our second day in Istanbul, we decided to take it easy. We did just that until we decided to walk up
to the Topkapi Palace.
The goal was to tour the palace and we walked for quite some time
through the palace gardens looking for the ticket counter. We arrived at the end of the road at a dead
end. Devastation set in. Our backs and feet were tired from carrying
children and walking, and all we had to show for our efforts was a picture of
what would have been where we were standing hundreds of years ago.
Deciding to forgo the palace tour, we stopped for drinks at
a nearby café then took the kids to the playground.
We stopped for lunch and since we were almost halfway there, decided to venture on to the Spice Market. Oh the spices! Mounds of cumin, saffron, cinnamon, spice blends, the list could go on and on. Along with the spices were dried fruits, nuts, and various tea blends.
Greg bought a Genuine Fake Watch and it stopped working about an hour after he bought it. I couldn’t resist the spices and some Apple Tea, of course!
