Kostantiniyye part 3

I was going to blog some more about İstanbul but I've been too busy doing other stuff. I definitely intend to go back, and I will stay longer and see more mosaics. The Istanbul Archaeological Museum is great, with the Alexander sarcophagus which Fiona said rendered Michelangelo unnecessary, and statuary displayed very well with huge pictures on the walls of details which I might otherwise have missed, but I didn't manage the first and second floors, with their stuff from Troy; plus I never made it over to the Asian side of the city. Here is a fishing boat near Eminönü, looking over the Golden Horn towards where the Genovan colony used to be.


PS Eminönü is fun to say.
