Heading to Istanbul and Croatia soon!

So Eddie and I are heading to Croatia with a bunch of friends soon.  Yes, you may be subjected to a number of pictures of the seaside from Croatia and Montenegro, plus my favorite city of Mostar, Bosnia.
.
We will be starting with a day and a half in Istanbul to get our European sleep cycle right.  Istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.  The one thing we did not  get to last time was to go to an old fashioned Hamam - a Turkish Steam Bath place.  This time we will go tothe most famous and some say most beautiful of them all, the Cagaloglu Hama.  I hear it is pretty expensive and a little touristy, but look a the picture below.  Of course it is touristy - it is gorgeous.


I cannot wait.  We will probably also to a Bosporus Tour by Boat and dinner in the  Galata Tower District.  That is supposedly one of Istanbul's most "international" districts.  We will see.
