Dolmabahçe-Palace

During the weekend we visited the Dolmabahçe-Palace, which is located on the Bosporus. From outside the palace is very impressive and the garden is beautiful. But you cannot visit the palace individual, you have to take part in guided tour. And that can be a little bit boring ... Of course you get enough information to everything, but because there are so many tours on a day, the guides are not that much motivated ... But maybe this is also caused by the hot weather ...?! The inner part of the palace is also nice, but the ceremonial hall is incredible. We were unfortunately not allowed to take pictures inside. Sorry! 
But one fact was really worse. We had to wear a kind of "plastic bag" over our shoes. And you can image how "comfortable" this felt by 35 degrees...

New best friends

Because it was so hot in the last days, we had some problems with our sleep. There were two opportunities ... Closed windows: Silence, but too hot. Opened windows: Pleasent temperature, but too loud. But those problems are now really "yesterday", because we have got some new good friends: earplugs! Ok, they look a little bit different, but it works!
