Istanbul

I'd taken over 400 photos in Istanbul and now that the internet connection is slower in Beirut, I was going to upload a few pics, but even that's seems like it's too much for the server! Istanbul reminded me of Lisbon being situated on a river, with hilly streets and cable cars. The Bada Bing Hostel lived up to it's rating from hostelworld.com and the location was within walking distance to everything that's worth seeing. The Spice Bazaar, The Grand Bazaar, The Blue Mosque and Galata Tower were the tourist attractions, but it was the street art and the apartment buildings that made me keep getting my camera out. I'll upload the photos when the internet connection is a bit quicker!
