Day 11 - Cruise; Istanbul, Turkey
Today we arrived in Istanbul. We booked a shore excursion and went to see the Blue Mosque and two other museum. I don't really thingk the churches and palaces are very nice here; the ones in Italy were more decorated.
In the afternoon, we went to the Grand Bazaar. People kept trying to get us to buy things at outrageous prices. For example, my dad collects snowglobes, and he saw one at a store that was 5 dollars. Then we went to another store and saw the same one and it was 25 dollars! I was glad when we left.
Overall, I don't really like Turkey very much. The people seem so desperate and pushy for you to buy things. There are also lots of stray animals; I counted 8 cats and 2 dogs!
