Followiong our visit to the Han restaurant we all trooped of to smoke hubbly bubbly pipes on cushioned couches!! I forgot to mention our trip to the Uzbekistan Embassy in the morning. All went far too well in the begining. As we stood outside our Australian, Jodie, realised that she had her room mate Betsies Canadian passport by mistake. She had to dash back in a taxi to get hers but all was well in the end. Today Julia, Betsie, Jeff and I went off the the Topkapi. A huge complex with the most interesting being the Harem. Following a very nice lunch, Julia and I went to the Blue Mosque where she had to cover up to get in. A fantastic huge domed structure. My sore feet appreciated having to walk around bare footed on the cartpet.
The afternoon was a boat trip on the Bosphorus. Having negotiated a price we were bundled into a mini bus and taken to a boat that clearly should have been condemned some years ago. We then sailed off into a freezing wind and high swell for an hour and a half. Great views but very cold. When we got back we stumbled into the filming of the new James Bond film, how crazy is that? Tomorow up and gone by 6.15 en-route to Goreme about a 12 hour drive.
