Wedding Istanbul

School finished at 12.10 and then home for lunch before on the aeroplane to Istanbul. We had a great hotel (HHK) with my own individual room. We looked over the Golden Horn, a few hundred metres from Suleimaniye Mosque. Beautiful with a little pool and very friendly people. We visited the city including Haghia Sophia, the Archaeological Museum (with some amazing tombs), Grand Bazaar where I got football top and shorts of Portugal from Euro 2012 with Ronaldo #7. We went to Berna and Dany's wedding on the Bosphorus, Portaxe. Beautiful time - a very happy big party with loads of great company (playing with the other kids) and dancing and food and...eventually I fell asleep on my inflatable bed. The next day we went across the Bosphorus to Besiktas to Ortakoy (market stalls and lazy cafés) and naval museum, to the Blue Mosque at night after kebab dinner. We visited the wonderful frescoes of Church of St Saviour in Chora and then had lunch overlooking Golden Horn at the Pierre Loti restaurant. We walked down through the BIG cemetery and took a very small powered boat to Miniturk. Loads of fun walking around Miniturk that I drew pictures back home. Then it was time to leave and back to the airport after visiting the spice market.
