Ortaköy, Istanbul

Day 2 of teaching the Summer Academy Art morning programme in the humidity and heat of Istanbul in July - didn't know I could feel this tired!  Enjoyed it though. So nice to be back. Regardless of tiredness, after a siesta I roused myself sufficiently to take the bus to Ortakoy for a wander laced around familiar places with various achievable missions all successfully executed in local shops and venues before catching the bus back to campus early evening. 

A lovely early evening it was too, in Konak garden chatting to old neighbour friends as the sun set against a a beautiful Bospherous backdrop.
