Istanbul days 28 & 29

Arrived in sunny (not) Istanbul mid afternoon. Sleet fell on and off while we checked out Topkapi Palace and the Harem. I tried to stay in the treasury rooms with the diamonds, but it was too cold. Trammed it back to the boat and modern central heating. Woke up next morning to full on snow. Visited Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and the Blue Mosque in ever increasing levels of snow. After that we decided to retreat back to the boat and watch the snow from the boat.
