Seville: Alcazar-dabra Alcazar-dam
I have the feeling that we’re going to have to make a trip back to Seville some time in the future.

The big thing about Cordoba is the Mesquita: another one of these Mosque-stolen-church-stolen-mosque things that dominate the south of Spain.

I think I’m going to skip over Cordoba for now so that the first post of the New Year is piccies from the family Christmas in Seville.
Leaving Granada
Just thought I’d quickly throw up some of the images from the last day in Granada.
Don’t call my Name. (Ala-hambra)
Granada’s Alhambra has one of the greatest WOW! factors of almost any historical monument-y thing that we’ve seen so far. You can probably tell that from Andy’s face up there eh?

Istanbul Modern
On our second day in Istanbul, the family and I skipped off to the Istanbul Modern.
Isanbul III: Hagia Sophia and the Spice Markets
While Andy was enamored by the Blue Mosque, I was even more impressed by the crumbling, eastern-gothic beauty of the Hagia Sophia, which was our next port of call.
Istanbul II: The Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar
