Day 12. We arose and headed out. There are 23 million people in Istanbul, and it seems as if they are all on the road and sidewalks. Since the Tram, stopped in front of our hotel, that became our preferred mode of travel. We rode it to the end, found a short tram up the hill and we were at Taksin Square, the site of all the previous political demonstrations. It was empty. A few tourist like ourselves. A bunch of cops over on the side, otherwise, a peaceful Saturday. We spent the morning walking down a pedestrian shopping mall and made it back to the hotel to check out the beautiful spa and Turkish Bath.
