we visited Istanbul (Turkey) before
we went back to Indonesia.
We never imagined before that
it was our last trip before the COVID-19 pandemic.
After that we were stuck at home
until now while dreaming to explore the world again 😔.
Here is a short story about Istanbul,
Let #seewhatisee in
this old beautiful city in just 2,5 days
(1-3 January 2020).

various cultural & religions.
Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque and other mosques become attractive to be explored.
