The Best Group Ever! - all listening to Mert. Except me. See, attention span of a gnat.
Fabulous windows.

Topkapi Palace.
The Topkapi Palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions. I enjoyed it, but to be honest, I think I was getting a little bit 'cultured out', if you know what I mean. Anyway, it was worth going if only to see the fabulous tiles; and also to learn why the eunuchs in the Harem were invariably black. Castration was not always successful- so if any of the women in the Harem decided to play around, and got knocked up, it would be obvious that the offspring were not the Sultan's nippers!
