I really cant get enough of this place....

There is so much i can say about Istanbul...my visit was only a short one (7 days),but you can be sure i will return.The people are so very friendy,you leave allways having made lots of friends,and never have i visited a country where the people will actually shut up shop to sit and talk with you..over a cup of apple tea of course!..There was so much to see,and i loved sitting outside the mosque early morning taking everything in,the people,my suroundings....

cats everywhere!!!

You will see,there are so many cats around...in the hotels..in the shops and bars,they are very friendly and well looked after,i met a guy who let me adopt this kitten as i fell in love with her...her name is zena hehehe.i will return to see her soon...
