travel

Tonight Silvija delighted me with beautiful northern landscapes from her Norway trip (28.08. – 05.09.2010.). Here you can enjoy the pictures of the beautiful nature of the harsh Scandinavia and, who knows, maybe you will get inspired to travel around this country and see everything with your own eyes. In my opinion, the mountain views are particularly beautiful, when the mist is sleeping in the valleys. P.S. Did you now that Norwegians, Swedes and Danes call Norway - Norge?!

The idea to go to a Turkish bath or hamam belonged to two ladies from our Istanbul trip group. As nothing like that was mentioned in the programme, we were not prepared for this idea, but immediately accepted it being driven by curiosity. Our guide Ibrahim immediately agreed to organize a trip to Suleymaniye Hamam in the evening, which is located next to Suleymaniye Mosque. The bath was designed and built in 1550 by architect Sinan. This is the only bath that men and women can attend together because it is just for tourists, locals never go there.
