Talking Turkey - day 4 of 6


Day 4 (training day 3) and at lunchtime I pop up to the 16th floor for more snaps...


View reminds me vaguely of Kuala Lumpur


Lovely colours here - not all grey


View-o-rama


They turned a jacuzzi into a meeting/seating area
Practical but boring
Should have the meetings in the tub haha


Sapphire Tower in the distance


Nice contrasts


After work I'm checking in to the Sheraton for 2 nights


They make an overture and I get the room


Ooh nice - not so quirky as Jazz Hotel
But very nice


Back out again to the Sapphire mall and tower


It looms above the food court


Here we go, from 1 to 53...


At the top, or near enough


Look out below!


Yes it's me.
I'm looking very German, nicht wahr?
German and 1970s lol



Awesome ride beckons... after more photos


Someone else snaps
:)


In the Skyride - fabulous 10 minutes
showing aerial views of Istanbul
sights plus inside some buildings too


Ubiquitous semi-rama


Sun comes out and I keep snapping


Back down to earth


Towering success


Pip pip Sapphire


Back towards hotel, that ever-moving traffic


One last look at the Sapphire


I spot a Metro entrance
looking like a spider


Sunset reflected
