Turkey (Istanbul)

Ready to go...
The window seat gave some killer views
Wing and clouds
Welcome to Istanbul
Ag. Sofia
The Orient Express dinner gang (Hakim, Daniel, Christophe, Mark)
The hostel gang (aussies)
Just a night of music...
and dancing
'Turkish' belly dancer
Daniel, Christophe, and Mark pose
A few Aussie chicks try to one up the belly dancer
'You go girl'
'I am really not that drunk'
'We can do better then just belly dance'
'Geeee'
Local Erkan tries the moonwalk
Mark tries the moonwalk
Christophe gets the fever
'French men can party'
Erkan calmly explains the meaning of life
A few hours later he doesn't look so confident anymore
My 94,000,000 lira ($80) Syrian visa
Something I have never seen before
Play day at school
The parents watch on
and the kids dance
Kids in the windows
Some cool monument
Mosque tower
The Blue Mosque at dusk
The tourist trap dinner gang
Everyone wore costume hats
Me and hat in good humor
Special music for the special guests
Not a local in sight (well almost)
The grand finale (doing the macarena)
Local waits for ferry to the islands
Ferry to the Princess Islands
Adios Istanbul
