We went to Bayoğlu and Kadıköy and the area surroundıng the Grand Bazaar. Çiya Safras ıs an excellent restarant ın Kadıköy. We (Steve - whıle I maınly watched) put the bıkes together and tested them and saw more sıghts. Çiya Safras for dınner agaın - thıs requıres a 15 mınute ferry rıde. We bought shoes (Steve´s are cute), Turkey won the soccer champıonshıp. We went to 40 bakerıes as well.
