Short post today since we got in late. We left the hotel, which is right on Taksim Square, at the crack of noon and walked the length of Istiklal avenue (translation of cadissi) across the Galata bridge, dodging fishing poles, to the Grand Bazaar.
Took all afternoon what with frequent stops for sights and shopping, finishing with a slow cab ride through heavy traffic back to the hotel. Finally dinner at the Faro Restaurant across the street. Very nice food there. I had sea bass, which was excellent.
My pics are all via iPhone and not transferred yet to this tablet, so, sorry, no pics here today. Plans tomorrow call for a boat ride to the Price Islands. Rough location of islands, relative to hotel, shown as checkered flag:
