The unseasonably early and very heavy snow in London didn't stop us from getting out of town for Christmas and heading to the megacity that is Istanbul. We spent a good half day exploring the Topkapi Palace
Just me and the Bosphorus
Amazing mosaics. Inside we saw some interesting relics as well from biblical times
Peaceful spot away from the crowds of Istanbul
I think the Harem was one of the most interesting parts of the palace - not too many people were looking around there and you could really imagine it being the bustling centre of court life 200 years ago
