2sd visit to Topkapi and Gulhane Park, jewels on palace textiles
Being our last day for sightseeing we decided to go back to Topkapi Palace to see the Holy Relics (no photo-taking allowed), the library, the reception hall with textiles set with jewels and the exhibit of the gifts of the Russians tsars to the Ottoman sultans in the 18th and 19th centuries ( no photo-taking allowed either). It took the whole afternoon to tour these. Check out the rare black tulip and the kitten sunbathing in tulip heaven and the Gulhane Park that is on one side of the palace. It is a national holiday today in Turkey, CHILDREN'S DAY.
