This is my last posting on Turkey and also the last night in Istanbul, Turkey. Still walking at the Spice Bazaar and it is getting late evening.
A beautiful night shot of the mosque with the moon at the background.
For dinner time, we were brought to a restaurant that not only served but but also the Turkish dances and performances.
Hope you enjoyed my posting of my trip in Turkey. Wanna know which country is next? If yes, then come and follow me here. 😊

We were walking our way to the Spice Bazaar which is also one of the largest bazaar in the city of Istanbul. Along the way there, I saw a lot of interesting sights which I cant help taking shots of it.
Enjoy the shots. Guess no words can describe all these. =)
While walking outside Kapalicarsi Grand Bazaar, it was very interesting to see the activities in the near by area.
Headed to the Beyazit Square and saw this lady sitting selling bird food.
Along the way… there were a lot of shops and hive of activities to be seen.
Not sure what are these but one thing for sure… they are really colourful? Does anyone know what are these?

Welcome back!! …still in Kapalicarsi Grand Bazaar. Walking around the bazaar is like walking in a maze… a huge maze.
As you can see they sell lots of this from jewellery to colourful glassware to Turkish ladies clothes.
Each area of the bazaar sells different items…..
accessories…….

Outside the bazaar, there are also stalls…..
After walking at the bazaar.. I took a walk outside and saw a group of ladies talking or selling something.
Back in Istanbul and this time we saw more of Istanbul city.
As seen, there are trams in the city … zooming around.
The first stop was the Kapalicarsi Grand Bazaar and it is is one of the largest and oldest covered market in the world, with 61 covered streets and over 3,000 shops which attract between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors daily.
This is one of the entrances to the bazaar…
Some beautiful shots inside the bazaar. So.. enjoy the pictures…….
