今天是在Istanbul的最后一天，下午就要起程回家了。很多人也想家了。今天的行程主要是集中在亚洲，游船河。
***Istanbul的清晨。
***Marmara Hotel的大厅。早餐过后，我们就出发去参观三个景点。由于三个景点是在附近，所以用走的就可以参观完三个景点，Hippodrome, St. Sophia Museum和Blue Mosque。
*Hippodrome - It was built by the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus in 203 A.D. The Hippodrome was a stadium which served as a meetting place for the politicans, for chariot races, wrestling, boxing, and other athletic activities that took place.
***Hippodrome, 一个满小的广场。在广场上有三个column, 只是经过走马看花的看了一下。
***在Blue Mosque外卖面包的小贩。头顶功夫不错哦！
***Hippodrome的其中一个column。Hippodrome过后，我们就去参观Blue Mosque。天公不作美，开始下雨了。天气开始冷了。
*Blue Mosque - One of the most prominent landmarks of Istanbul, especially when viewed from the First Hill or from the Asian Shore of the Sea of Marmara. It is very impressive with its beautiful domes and semidomes, nice courtyards and six slender minarets.

Blue Mosque又被称为Sultan Ahmed Mosque。外观设计特别，里面的更是壮观。Blue Mosque虽然是清真寺，但是却又对外开放参观，参观的时候，还有人在作祈祷，只要我们不打扰到他们，我们可以周围走走和拍照。进去参观时，记得要脱鞋，以免弄脏里面的地毯，那里有提供袋子装鞋。Blue Mosque可算是无价之宝，只是里面的蓝色瓷砖已是天文数字了。

***Blue Mosque的圆屋顶。Blue Mosque的整个屋顶由四根大柱子支撑。每根柱子的直径为8m。经历几次地震，也没影响到Blue Mosque的结构，突显出古时的建筑智慧。
***祈祷的地方。中间的石碑朝向麦加。
***支撑圆顶其中一根柱子。
***内部的装潢很美，透过蓝色的玻璃窗和周围蓝色的瓷砖，所以就被称为蓝色清真寺。
***清真寺外面遇到的土耳其人。
***前往Hagia Sophia途中，有很多鲜艳的花。
***Blue Mosque的外观。
*St. Sophia Museum - (Turkish: Ayasofya, from the Greek: Αγία Σοφία, "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia). The Church of Holy Wisdom, commonly known as Hagia Sophia in English, is a former Eastern Orthodox Church converted to a mosque, now concerted into a museum, in the Turkey city of Istanbul (Constantinople). It is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest buildings of the world and sometimes considered the Eight Wonder of the World. Its loss to the Ottomans at the fall of Constantinople is considered one of the great tragedies of Christendom by the Greek Orthodox faith.
***Hagia Sophia的外貌。
***Visiting hours of Hagia Sophia.
***The mihrab located in the apse where the altar used to stand, pointing towards Mecca.
***皇帝专用的祈祷室，以防暗杀。
***Marble Jar - The marble jar was brought from Pergamon during the reign of Sultan Murad III. Originally from the Hellenistic period, it was carved from a single block of marble.
***Southwestern entrance mosaics, situated in the tympanum of the southwestern entrance, date from 944. They were rediscovered during the restorations of 1849 by Fossati. The Virgin sits on a throne without a back, her feet resting on a pedestal, embellished with precious stones. The Child Christ sits on her lap, giving His blessing and holding a scroll in His left hand. On her left side stands emperor Constantine in ceremonial attire, presenting a model of the city to Mary. The inscription next to him says : "Great emperor Constantine of the Saints". On her right side stands emperor Justinian I, offering a model of the Hagia Sophia. The medallions on both sides of the Virgin's head carry the monograms MP and ΘY, an abbreviation of "Mētēr" and "Theou", meaning "Mother of God".参观完Hagia Sophia，我们就去游船河。我们将会畅游Bosphorus海峡，一睹分隔欧亚的海峡风采。
***上船前看到一只慵懒的狗。Bosphorus海峡风采
***左岸是欧洲，右岸是亚洲。
***欧洲建筑风格的清真寺。
***以前皇帝的宫殿。
***很多土耳其人都会在星期天出来钓鱼。
***这是在亚洲海边的大屋。这里的都是非富则贵。
***Rumelihisarı on the Bosporus.
***Rumelihisarı on the Bosporus.
***很多土耳其人在钓鱼，他们在钓一种小鱼。
***这是我们今天午餐的餐厅外面。
***今天的午餐主菜。这间餐厅很正统，有沙律，冷盘，面包，汤，主菜，水果，茶，完整的一餐。鱼很新鲜，原味，没有腥，难得。
午餐后，我们就前往旅程的最后一个景点，Topkapi Palace。
*Topkapi Palace - It was home to all the Ottoman Sultans until the reign of Abdulmecid I (1839-1860), a period of nearly four centuries. The order for the constructio of the Topkapi Palace on the Seraglio Point overlooking both Marmara and Bosphorus was given by Mehmed II after the conquest of Constatinapolis in 1453.

***Topkapi Palace的大门。
我们用了大约一小时参观Topkapi Palace，只参观了以前皇帝的珠宝，由于不可以拍照，所以不能分享。其实Topkapi Palace是很大的，因为时间关系，只能参观到一小部分而已。Topkapi Palace的面积大约是592,600方尺到700,000方尺，所以我们看到的真的是一小部分而已，可惜。
***土耳其的pizza店。参观完Topkapi Palace，我们就去当地特产的outlet参观。这间outlet有卖地毯，金银饰品。他们开价真的是很“装笑”，商品只是标上数字而已，然后你问他那个数字是不是欧元，他就说是欧元，但如果你问他是不是美金，他也是一样答你是美金，真的是很“装笑”。
参观完outlet，我们就前往机场了。
***临别依依，Atilla和Sibel，祝福你们。总结，这个旅程很好玩，看见很多不一样的东西。虽然只是看古迹，由于我对古迹比较有兴趣，所以这个旅程对我而言真的很不错，激发我更想要去参观其他的古城古迹，如雅典卫城，罗马古城之类。遗憾的是没有吃到道地的kebab。
再见了，土耳其。希望有机会再来。马来西亚，我回来了。
***Denizli机场的周围灰蒙蒙的。
