Istanbul-the grand bazaar

The grand bazaar is like the worlds first shopping centre. You can get anything there! We had lunch in a restaurant where Mum and Dad had traditional Turkish Doner Kebap, and I had traditional Turkish fried meat platter. This was followed by a traditional dessert of cheesecake - made from Turkish cheese drizzles in honey and baked. It was yummy! We wandered through the bazaar looking at carpets, jewels, gold, textiles, t-shirts, spices, letter goods, toys, genuine fake watches, and much, much more. We worked our way from the top to the bottom. When we reached the bottom we walked to the Istanbul Modern art gallery ( to keep mum happy) where we saw some pretty good video art. My favorite was an animation of a dog walking. Then we walked around the corner to our cruise ship, The Costa Mediterranea.
