Wednesday 24th September


We visited the Aqueduct of Valens, built by Emperor Valens in 378a.d.  We also visited the Grand Bazaar, built in 1548 but destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1898.  Unfortunately after a second fire in November 1954 only about a third remains.

Istanbul
After lunch we boarded the ship Akdeniz, anchored near the Galata Bridge for Izmir.

We had an omelet together with vermouth in the evening; the omelet being a large one served on one plate but with two forks (one each).

We met a couple of Turks at the bar as we were eating our meal, and exchanged drinks with them.
