Made it hard to get work done sometimes :) We always used this website (http://www.bosphorusstrait.com/bosphorus-live/) to pull up info on the big ships coming through to see where they were coming from and heading to. You could spend hours doing this!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107171533779087278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-4234834587175382012013-01-15T15:00:54.006-05:002013-01-15T15:00:54.006-05:00@Julia, I like your comment, "Just because we...@Julia, I like your comment, "Just because we can."

We often jump on a ferry just for the sake of it when we're up there - just because we can.

But I had to do a pastry delivery so it was just too much to all carry. Hope you enjoyed your lunch together as a family! The Galata area also has its charm, and the Prince's islands are just a short vapur ride away. ;-)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-9209118574811999842013-01-15T04:31:37.895-05:002013-01-15T04:31:37.895-05:00We have been staying in Beşiktaş for a few weeks b...We have been staying in Beşiktaş for a few weeks because our home on Heybeliada is so cold and me and the children can get bored with so little to do inside. Your post has just made me long to go home because the vapur trips have really been such a wonderful thing about our life in Istanbul. We have stuck it out all previous winters but this year it just felt too hard. Sadly in winter the commute does mean I would never see Ville in daylight and his day would feel very long. Being in the city means on days like today when Ville can take a long lunchbreak we can pop to the Pera! We are actually planning to move to Galata this summer after 4 years on Heybeli and it is not without emotion! I love your photos in this post. They really sum up how glorious it can be to take our part in the long history of this city.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565976784255470989noreply@blogger.com
