tour de turkey - Istanbul Day 4

lots of walking for this day... went to Taksim district...

followed by the Spice Market, which is the 2nd largest closed bazaar of Istanbul... this bazaar was designated to herb sellers, quilt sellers initially, but the number of herb sellers decreased tremenously in the 70s and they were replaced by lewelers, dried fruit sellers, drapers and other stores...

along the way to the spice market... omans, this man is goooood... hahahah...

oh, yummy lunch... it's known as kokorec (minced intestines)... the mussels with rice is known as midye dolma...
