Istanbul!!!

Even if I'm a busy girl...I need a holiday sometimes so I went for a little break to Istanbul.
Great weather and wonderful moments shared with my P.
Usually I study carefully maps and travel guides before my hoidays. This time I hadn't the time so I studied the guide on the plane!!!
We were in a nice hotel in Sultanhamet, the old city so we visited the Blue Mosque.
It's so huge and striking especially at night when all the lights are on.
Aya Sophia is a big museum now but in the past was a basilica and then a mosque.
We spent a day inside Topkapi palace. It's strange to think that still at the beginning of the last century there were a Sultan living there and concubines and eunuchs. Fantastic treasures like a big diamond and the famous dagger with diamonds and emeralds.
Then a walk along the Bosphorus,
the fish market and an afternoon in the Bazar. You can get lost if you don't have a map.

Then kebab, pistachio and honey sweets, ottoman recipe, çai, turkish tea, pomegranate juice, simit.
4 days aren't enough for Istanbul, but very good for start!

Busy girl...


Rainy day! I feel like in London today. It's a quiet day in office so I have time for writing something.
I want to thank Despina for telling me such wonderful words. I know she's in having a big change in her life, but I'm sure she will succeed in everything!!
So...come on everybody! It will be a Spring full of great news for all of us!
Kisses,
Saffron

Just a quick message...I'm still alive. My life is changing day by day and I am so busy that I work also on the weekend.
I'm sure all my efforts will bring me in a state of happiness and satisfaction.
Happy Spring!
