| View from the cruise ship dock in Istanbul |
The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, the Golden Horn - all magical names for the waters around the city of Istanbul. And now we were there, looking across to the Old City with its famous mosques and museums. The harbour was very busy with all sorts of craft making the short ride across to the Asian side and back to the European side of this city which straddles two continents.
As we docked a flock of crows flew on board, parading round the handrails and sitting on the backs of the sun chairs.
But they weren't the only ones to welcome us. A troupe of musicians gathered on the wharf and started to play traditional songs.

It didn't take long to disembark, walk along the dock to the cruise terminal and find our coach for our shore tour. More on that next time.
