One day we took a ferry to the Asian side. Someone on the boat was throwing bread at the birds and the kids loved watching it. They would fly right next to the ferry and then dive into the water for the bread.

That my friends is baklava, lots and lots of delicious baklava.
We decided that one game on the trip was enough for the kids, so Simon headed off to the Besiktas game alone one night. It is a good thing, apparently it was freezing that night. There are three big clubs in Istanbul and Simon saw two of them in our five night stay. Apparently the game was awesome, but the Besiktas loss in the 88th minutes.
