Blue Mosque Istanbul

Blue mosque was built by Sultan Ahmed 1 during 1609-1616



My day starts at 6am today, the azan can be heard from our apartment. We decided to visit
the Aya Sophia and later on to grand Bazaar. We were at the grand bazaar yesterday from 1pm-6pm and yet we haven't explore the whole bazaar as it is so huge and yet so colourful. Weather was nice and cold.

The bazaar was a place which is not to be missed. I could stay here forever .......:P
The carpets and home furnishing are all over the place. Handmade carpets are so popular, they called it Kilims. There is a story in each knot and color. Fantastic!
So much work and love given to the lovely kilims and that's why the price of a carpet can be
so expensive.
