Spring Holiday - Istanbul Aku Datang!! Part 2

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

So I 'm back again.

Let's continue the journey, shall we?

The next day, we took the Hop On-Hop Off Bus in front of the Aya Sofya.

We are going to explore the old city and the new city.

The journey cost 20 euro.

And we got a cheap ticket for Bhosphorus cruise for 20 euro too.

The ticket for Bosphorus cruise actually cost 35 euro, so we saved around 15 euro for that.

We hop onto the bus and ready to explore!

The journey took around 90 minutes and they told us about the history of Istanbul. 

It's a double-decker bus, so we took the upstairs seat. :)

Iklan kejap

Bila bas nak jalan nih....

Happy face sebab bas dah start jalan

Orang first masuk bas. Nampak tak seat kat belakang tu kosong lagi?

New Mosque and the small one is Suleymani Mosque

Taxim Square.

Feeling gwiyeomi kononnya. Haha, seriously Mim? (T__T)
Anyway, I think these people sangat lambat. Hahaha.
Aku dah bosan tengok gwiyeomi tu, baru nak trend kat FB. Kahkahkah :P

Teksi world. Tourist spotlah katakan...

Teksi ja dgn bas...

Bosphorus Bridge

Dolmabahce Mosque kot... Ermmmmm....

One of the university in Istanbul.

Old City Wall

Cable car

Dah confuse dah yang sebelah sana tu new city ka Asian side... =,="

Nak hujan...

Bendera Turki

Pintu masuk ke old city - Sultanahmet

Let's go back, shall we?

So, after 1 hour and a half, we hop off at the same place we hop on the bus (:P) and went to the seaside by foot.

It took us about 15 minute to walk from the Blue Mosque to Eminonu, the place by the seaside.

Laluan tram

Yang tu Asian side. :)

The street to Eminonu. Seriously banyak bukit sungguh kat Istanbul ni. Penat dok naik turun bukit ja... 

Dah sampai. Say cheese!

New Mosque

Galata Bridge, Galata Tower and boat, all in one...

Across the Galata Bridge to the new city - Taksim.

The fisherman by the bridge. Tangkap ikan pastu jual kat orang yang lalu lalang...

Siap tram boleh lalu lagi atas bridge ni

Sebab dah penat jalan, kita relax and lunch dulu

Well, restoran ni agak scary sebenarnya walaupun murah.

Sebabnya, orang Turki kat sini are so touchy.

Kalau perempuan tak apalah jugak.

Ni lelaki...

And the kept saying they are Muslims to.

I mean, what??

Ehem... *clearing throat*

I mean, even Non-Muslim in Malaysia didn't touch Muslim's girls ikut suka.

So, if you are coming to Turkey, please bear in mind about those people.

Just kept your distance at least 3 metres away.. Okay?

Tak semualah.

Adalah separuh yang macam tu, using excuse like - they like Malaysian girls, bla bla bla.

My friend is the one who people kept saying they want to marry her.

I'm glad I'm not one of the victim.

Huhu... =,="

Next, masuk spice Bazaar.

Spice Bazaar ni bukan jual rempah ja okay.

Dia jual semua delicacies from Turkey and tudung and handicraft.

Kena pandai tawar.

One of the shops selling scarfs

One of the shops selling delicacies

They are giving us a taste to Saffron tea.

Well, I was going to buy it at first.

But it cost is 500 TYL for 10 grams...

Wait, are they serious??

So, we didn't buy them although she explained every single detail to us about the tea.

Well, sorry to disappoint but we are not VVIPs from Malaysia, thank you... 

Huhu. =,="

And I've got new shawl.

Ottoman shawl, 45 TYL, but I got it for just 25 TYL.

Well, I'm learning  lot from my mother and sister after all... 

*evil smile*

But I thought I should get cheaper price... :(

Anyway, my first bargain is a success!!

Nak balik dah, dah penat jalan...

Ice cream Turkey is a must!!

So, that's it.

Balik hostel, solat tunggu Maghrib and keluar makan malam.

Makan malam kat restoran sebelah hostel ja.

Turkish cuisine again.

Duit habis kat makanan ja lebih.

Uhuk uhuk.

I love to eat so... :)

That's all.

See you soon.

Wassalam.
