Hagia Sofia; Ayasofya

Some Turkey stats for u. Inflation historically was a high 70% and in recent yrs dropped to 8%. On the way to the airport we stopped at the Hagia Sofia, Ayasofya in Turkish, which was a magnificent cathedral converted to a mosque by the conquering Ottomans. We also visited the Blue Mosque which is located just across. Sori no pics my battery went flat. Haha. Suffice to mention 1 unusual feature; it has 6 minarets! Of course the colour is blue. haha back now...
