Day 100 Istanbul

Our friends stayed at the same hotel so after breakfast together we headed to the Blue Mosque again and then up to the ferry to cross to Asia once more

We walked along the water's edge in Üsküdar then went to a cafe for lunch that had a great view across to the Dolmabahçe Palace and some fancy 5 star hotels. It's also fascinating watching all the oil tankers and container ships going up and down the Bosphorus Strait.

We took a sunset cruise on the Bosphorus again, this time passing the Büyük Mecidiye Mosque on the waters edge, upmarket neighbourhoods on the west side and then crossing over to pass the older, more traditional wooden buildings on the east side.
