Bosphorus Cruise

We took a 2 hour cruise on the Bosphorus today on a sight seeing boat. We headed south on the channel towards the Aegean Sea. The boat went along the Asian shore , the hillsides were covered with water view houses and apartments . The VERY strong current was surging water in towards the Black Sea to the north. Small boats drifted along fishing with hand lines. We cruised past an ancient castle the Crusaders built to guard the approach to Istanbul.
