We got to choose our own lunch.
and were entertained by other fish lovers.
Back in town, we mastered the art of buying a Istanbul card for the transit systems.
then made our way to Taksim where we discovered this place of sweet beauty – Hasif Mustafa.
Everyone was out and about on this Friday night, the day after Turkey’s National Day and two days before an election.
