The sun was high in the sun, and the newly wedded couple walked through the streets of Istanbul; they had chosen this place due to their mutual interest in touring the Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque; they also wished to visit the talked-about Bazaar. Hence they were going to stay in Turkey for two more days and then to their next destination.
Today, they were headed to the Topkapi Palace, but before that, they decided to walk around before joining their tour crew, and it proved a good idea as they had gotten a few suggestions from the locals for places to try out and how to get the best services.
Sometime later, they joined the tour crew, and it just happened that they were about to enter the palace.
One of the reasons why Lara had chosen this palace to tour instead of the other one was because she was deeply moved by the love story of The Magnificent Sultan Soulayemane and his beloved Hurrem Sultana - the Empress of the East.
