Today was a pretty low-key day. We started off with a really cool boat trip on the Bosphorous, and the weather was absolutely beautiful. We got dropped off at the Haghia Sophia, where Professor Hedeman gave us a quasi-tour of the mosaics. Having her explain everything definitely made me appreciate its grandeur a lot more.
For lunch we ate at a little cafe by the Blue Mosque, and then we headed to the Grand Bazaar. One of my friends wanted a purple headscarf, so it was time to bargain. After about an hour of chatting, modeling, and apple tea, Lucas, Heather, and I left with multiple scarves at 10 YTL each. Not bad, if you ask me.
After sleeping through dinner (whoops!), we all headed to Taksim for our last night in Istanbul. We found a club called Babylon, but I didn't really want to pay 25 YTL for cover, so Heather, Bryan, and I decided to walk around Istanbul. We saw a few good sights, but we were pretty tired, so we went to bed pretty early.
