Trip on the Bosporus

Angelika has a freind Ali who is also a tour guide. He was taking a group of Germans from the Saarland on a excursion up the Bosporus. He invited us to tag along. The boat takes us up the strait to where it merges with the Black Sea. The only marker is some channel markers to show the ships they are leaving the Strait and going to the Black Sea. There were a few interesting Palaces and homes along the shore as we traveled.
