Istanbul 2013

In the bazaar of Istanbul

In 2013 we celebrated the World Superyacht Awards in Istanbul and Jennifer and I went there for a few days. The images show us visiting the Topkapi palace, Hagia Sofia that was a church, then a mosque, then a museum and now converted back into a mosque (very controversially), the bazaars, the Blue Mosque and other places. We took together with all the judges and their families and friends a boat tour along the Bosphorus.

One thought on “Istanbul 2013

  1. Wonderful pictures of the largest city in Europe. You grt to see a lot through your yacht referee engsgement. Jen outshines all others. What strikes me is how wonderful life is when Corona’s not around. May all the new vaccines soon come on stream to end this evil plague and open up the world again. Hugs!
