What a day we’ve had today Looked round the Blue Mosque, stayed during prayer time very quiet and peaceful. Visited Museum from 6AD and some from the Byzantine Empire. The church has been both Muslim and Christian over time. Brass doors inside weighing 8 ton, and marble floor worn away where sentry’s have stood.
Black market exchange for a pound is 30lira. Bought leather jacket for £7, camel skin bag for £2 reckon about £40 at home. Had good look round the Bazaars. Met Pakistani bloke on his way to Manchester wanted to know the best way! Like Morocco, people all round bartering. Bought piece of hash for 10 lira 8/-. Had smoke of water pipe, good. Posted insurance home.
