Day 3- Topkapi Harem

You had to pay an extra entrance fee to visit the Topkapi Harem and even though I'm a bit of a tightwad, we just couldn't visit Ottoman land and not go to a harem. Unlike the official palace, the harem at Topkapi is actually where most of the day to day living happened. Plus who wouldn't want to visit a place dominated by women. In fact, they say the empire was ruled from the harem.

Does it look like we're wearing the same clothes everyday? That's because we were. Stinkin' cold weather.
