After five days exploring Istanbul and its environs, I got back home late last night. After the gorgeous Turkish sunshine, the cold London weather was a bit of a shock to the system, although not much of a surprise. Despite feeling rather photographically uninspired during my trip, I still managed to take almost 400 photos, and I'll be posting a few photos and experiences from my trip once I've gone through them all.

Overall, though, with its similarities to
San Francisco,
Stockholm,
Marrakesh and, er, Walsall (!), Istanbul is a cool, vibrant city that ticks a whole load of city-break boxes--you can see a lot of the city and fit in an excursion or two with a four- or five-day visit. And the sunny weather definitely didn't hurt either.
