Today we may take it a little easier and take a breather as we did quite a bit yesterday. Since the old city of Sultanahmet is on 7 hills ( more eternal than Rome) one trudges up and down cobble-stoned pavements a lot here to see the sights. Yesterday we managed three of them which were within very short walking distance from one another. The first one we saw was the fabulous Blue ( so called because of its Iznik tiles) Mosque. I brought my own scarf and wrapped it around my head and shoulders as requested and although plastic bags are given to the tourists Y and I had brought a small bag in which to put out shoes. I wish I had a telephoto lens because most of the decoration are on the ceilings and high-up on the columns. We went at 2 PM which was perfect timing as the mosque is closed 5 times a day for prayer.
