Visit Istanbul
After traveling from Istanbul to Cappadocia and back again in 2010, we were very ready to spend some time seeing Istanbul's most famous sites (and to not have to worry about finding a new hotel every night without any reservations). While in Istanbul, we visited the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace, and the Haghia Sofia. This video documents our experiences at the Haghia Sofia and shows some of the Haghia ...
In this video, we wander around the Haghia Sofia interior. On the inside of the building there are birds and cats that have taken up residence and hang out in the structure alongside travelers.

In this video, John takes a few minutes to document the incredible view.Related Posts:Istanbul: View of the City from Our Hotel Room (video)Istanbul: Haghia Sofia (video)Driving ...
In 2010, we visited Turkey for 10 days and drove from Istanbul to Cappadocia and back. In this video, we're arriving back to Istanbul and looking for a hotel to stay in for the last five days of our trip, since we hadn't booked any reservations ahead of time. John was convinced that we'd find a hotel from a major chain (like a Marriott or Holiday Inn), despite the fact that we had seen any such thing during ...
