Day 4, Maiden Tower

Today, I went off by myself, since Julie wanted to head to the mall.  I tried to go to Dolmabahce Palace, but it happened to be closed on Thursdays, so I just took some outdoor pictures of the garden.  

Then I went to Uskudur for some shopping of my own and also to see Maiden Tower on Leander's Island.  This little island acted as a gateway to Istanbul on the Bosphorus.  Apparently, there was a chain across the entire river to prevent people from crossing.
