High tea at the ritz

The pros:
Delicious food
Great tea
Nice ambience

The cons:
Service was slow, and not great.
When I asked for a quiche with no ham, they said it was too late to order it (veggie needs are to be communicated via the online booking), and then no substitute was offered. It was just taken away by an unsmiling waitress in a short dress. (Too short? I think thinking this makes me old?) the whole thing seemed odd and not the service you would expect at high tea.

Here are some bad photos to aid in memory

Not Constantinople






Blue Mosque


Hagia Sofia


This old thing? It's been around just since 2000BC


Bosphorous river from Topkepi Palace


Bospherous cruise

Incredible Pammukale

The mountainside is covered in white mineral pools. It looked other worldly.

Among the ruins


Blogger will no longer upload any photos, so I direct your attention to Instagram. My user name is Joy Larusa. I don't believe you need an account to look. If you do, sorry.

Delicious breakfast today before a boat cruise with variable weather! Wooooooo turquoise coast!
