Grand Bazaar, shopping shopping & more shopping











Here we are in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul there are shops and goods of all kinds. Anything and everything you could possibly want can be found here. I spent about 2 hours wandering the different corridors, trying not to lose my bearings. There are over 4000 shops, the first was opened in Byzantine times and it grew even bigger during the Ottoman empire. Can you believe I spent two hours in there and didn't spend a thing. Talk about will power. I wanted to buy all of the lamps that you see in this beautiful picture.
