After breakfast tried to arrange for a helicopter tour, no luck! Left by tram to the Grand Bazaar.
What a fuckin' market, try 4,000 shops inside, and maybe 4,000 more all around.
I spent all my moolah, in less than 30 minutes. Bought two necklaces, four scarfs, some gold rings & bracelets, a hat for a porno shoot back home, hazel nuts, and tea.
Had a mojito under the "Galata" bridge after.
Walked up the hill back to the hotel in that heat, to check out my stamina. Passed!
Left in the p.m. for another outing, this time to the "Dolmabahce Palace". On the way had another delicious spicy kebob lunch with 2 iced teas for < 10 bucks. Took some great shots, then a 10 lira taxi ride back.
Relaxed, showered, and waited for the Ukrainian, Lada to show up.
