Oops, late aboard for this one...

Second full day started with the Topkapi palace.
We are booked into the Khorasani, hope they pick up their act.
I'd go back to Istanbul in a heartbeat. The odds of any harm are so small that its not worth being even a little concerned. More risk in the traffic there I reckon!
Who doesn't enjoy a good collection of rocks?
Spoonmaker's diamond, 86 carats, surrounded by 49 others
Topkapi dagger (in its scabbard) - with three big chunky emeralds
Just a bucket of stones ...
Yet more sparklies ..
For dinner the first night at the Novotel, I was set on going to Karakoy Lokantasti, a Four Seasons recommendation, which was just a few doors down . However it was booked out both nights I would be there.
Next morning - breakfast.
I spied menemen which I recalled from amaroo's TR, so I got it. A spicy omelette, which was OK, but ... . On the RH, a pic of the courtyard where you take breakfast.

Looks a little wet and the texture looks wanting compared to the one I had.... did you add the spicy sausage ?
Such a fantastic trip report! We were there in 2013 and loved it, so seeing your photos and reading your stories makes me want to go back. We are flying through IST in a month and I now regret not making it a stopover... Looking forward to the rest of your report
