When we arrived in Istanbul the taxi dropped us off at the wrong address. While trying to find the correct one we met Maha. She kindly helped us locate our apartment. A day later we met Maha and her husband Nassib for coffee and walked around Karakoy together. An interesting and vibrant neighbourhood. Maha and Nassib are such wonderfully interesting and generous people. We throughly enjoyed our time with them.
Later that day we wet to the Aya Sofia, which is now a museum but use to be a Christian Orthodox Cathedral then a Mosque. 
We also visited the famous Blue Mosque.
