Istanbul day 4

I didn’t make many notes for day 4 except for the fact that we visited the Dolmabahce Palace, followed by a pleasant lunch alongside the river. Stephen then went back to the apartment for a snooze while the three of us visited Taksim Square and a women’s cooperative before walking back to the apartment via a mosque under repair so that we could take in the view.

Views from the outside of the palace as	photos not permitted inside.
souvenir shopping	A rather nice view from the garden of a mosque being repaired. We were invited in by a young woman who lived there.
