Day 19-20: Istanbul

There is only one word to describe Istanbul - CRAAAZY. It really is one crazy Euro-Asian town, with crazy traffic, crazy people and oh well, also crazy prices. When you get there, the heat and humidity hits you straight in your face and even a short walk uphill is a huge effort requiring regular stopovers about every 10 min.
We spent most of our time exploring the streets of the Sultanahmet district, the great bazaar and we also made a short trip to Asia, where we wandered along the streets around the Taksim square. We stuffed ourselves with as many different Turkish dishes as possible and made a conclusion that we're definitely coming back again.
