Istanbul--Day 2

Day 2 was filled wıth rug shoppıng, walkıng through the Spıce Bazaar (which is where the people of Istanbul shop for their everyday items), and visits to the Islam ve Ottoman Museum and the Cistern caverns. Istanbul never ceases to amaze. The sights and sounds of the various languages, the vendors, the daily life of the people--it is all so exciting. It is a city of millions with many different neighborhoods and the central part is very walkable for those wishıng to see that part. If not there ıs always the Tram. The night before we went to Istikal Cadisi where we strolled the 2.5 km and took in the sights of the city,s central pedestrian boulevard.
At 8 we met up with the final three students in the airport and caught our flight to Cyprus. We arrıved at Erçan Airport at 11:30 and were settled in at Near East Universıty by 1:30 am.
