May 6:
Today we got going after another delicious breakfast on the
roof top patio of the Harmony Hostel we decided to see the Grand Bazaar, now
that it would be open. This was a neat experience. Trade has been going on
there for hundreds of years, since back when Istanbul was a key stop on the
spice road. Among the spices being sold were many types of tourist goods and
knock off products, not to mention the near infinite number and variety of
scarves. We spent hours walking around the Grand Bazaar and its surrounding
area before we were tired and decided to head back to the hostel. It was
already pretty late and by the time we thought to get dinner it was seriously
late. Most of the places in our area were closed down but we found a place that
was open where we could get some yummy lamb shish kebab. After dinner we called
it a night.
