Topkapi Palace & Spice Bazaar, Istanbul 3.15

Welcome to Topkapi Palace
New friend from Vancouver
 Last stop on tour, Topkapi Palace.  Huge complex, lots of walking, stomach and back killing me.  Loved the beautiful tiles, a large diamond, and tons of tourists.





We were supposed to visit the Grand Bazaar but it is closed on Sundays so we went to the Spice Bazaar.  Met 2 ladies from H&M Canada who were on the tour.  They said the Grand Bazaar was very expensive, and showed me a place to get pashmina's & scarves very cheaply (they should know, being from H&M).
Didn't buy any spices but they looked great.
