#7MML in Istanbul

Entering the city, we immediately notice the salty smell of the sea. A mass of cars and people occupies the streets. We are trying to decipher the traffic rules, if there are some.

The night in Istanbul

Finally in the hotel. Between the perfumed white cotton bed sheets, we can rest from adrenaline and tiredness.

We are falling asleep listening to the typical Muezzin’s song in the distance, which takes a part of the city atmosphere

Where the ancient merchants trading on the Silk Road

Our intention is to get lost and to let the instinct and the curiosity lead us.
Actually, it's not so difficult in the enormous labyrinth of Grand Bazaar, full of colors, perfumes, small kiosks and merchants trying to get our attention.
We are in the place, where the ancient merchants trading on the Silk Road, used to stop to unload their goods and to rest their horses. Such a feeling!
