On the second day, we went to the Grand Bazaar where we looked around a bit and tried some bargaining.
Later, after meeting our Icelandic friends, we hit up the Hagia Sophia, which was very impressive inside. It had painted walls, mosaic murals, and was filled with low hanging chandeliers.
In the afternoon, we went to a show of the whirling dervishes. This entailed 4 musicians playing traditional music while 4 dervishes spun in circles for minutes at a time. Overall, I thought the show was quite a yawn. It could have been that time of the afternoon, but seriously, it was plain boring.
During the evening, we met with Selin for a nice dinner overlooking the entire city. She seems to know the best places to go to eat.
