tour de turkey - Istanbul Day 3

day 3 was spent at the Besiktas district which overlooks the asian part of istanbul... but first of all, we went to taksim district which is the main entertainment street... here's my lunch... at the besiktas district... dont know the name of this mosque, but it overlooks the bridge that connects east to west...this little girl is soooooooo adorable! and yes, this place is "infested" with well-fed cats! along the streets...view along the Bosphorus (waterway) which connects the Marmara sea to the Black sea...the evening view while on ferry back to Olgu's place in asian part... look carefully, and you actually get to see hagi sofie and the blue mosque in the background...Efes Pilsen (turkish beer), the making of turkish coffee and finally, helva which is a palace dessert of Ottomans...oh, i loved this helva more than the baklava...
