Grand Bazaar - grand prices!!

Off to the Grand Bazaar and what I was expecting to be the highlight of Istanbul, if not all of Turkey. Shops abounded, as far as the eye could see - but the prices were horrendous and bargaining was nowhere near as good as in Morocco or Egypt. I couldn't believe it but we came away with nothing apart from memories of colour, smells and noise - so much noise. Still it was an experience not to be missed. We did find a very nice place for lunch on the walk home and even went back for dinner. Our travels in Europe have come to an end - tomorrow we are on the 1st leg of our trip home - Dubai. 




Gold, gold and more gold


Bargaining for a carpet - he laughed at my offer
Pick a plate - any plate
Turkish delight anyone?
