It started out very overcast and it did drizzle on us for a awhile. We packed into a cruise boat with many other folks and headed up the Bosphorus strait which demarks Asia and Europe.

Through the early morning fog/rain mist, many of the mosques we had already visited came into view. The Blue Mosque

Even the Galata Tower looks more impressive from the river.

We could buy orange juice or hot tea on our boat, but we could see nearby ones where they were cooking the mornings catch!

Without any further adieu, here are the photos of the buildings along the ride.
