Istanbul day 5

Stephen stayed at the apartment while we took a ferry to the Asian side of Istanbul and the market over there. On the ferry there was a young girl playing a piano accordion on the way over and two guys selling lemon juicers on the way back! We checked out all the fresh produce on offer and had a Turkish lunch, including coffee, before returning to the European side of Istanbul.
Then we visited the Cistern, an artists cooperative after that and then back on a crowded but super cheap and efficient tram to the apartment.
