as for the honeymoon. we stayed at the Orsep Royal hotel for around $75.00 a night (which was one hell of a deal as their prices listed at the hotel were for 100 euro/night) we stayed for 11 days.
went on a night dinner cruise on the Bosphorus river, enjoyed some nice belly dancing, and a lot of alcohol.

went to visit the Aya Sophia (aka Sancta Sophia, aka Divine Wisdom) it was the 3 iteneration of the church/mosque. the first 2 burnt down, so the third was built of stone. when the ottomans reclaimed constantinople they covered all the faces of the christian figures. the building was converted into a museum in the early 1920s. it was freaking HUGE inside. the main dome inside is over 100 ft tall. the building is set into 2 levels and when I get my pics/vids loaded, you'll see just how huge the building is. the most intriguing fact tho, is that this huge building with its ornate features and decorations (including the entire ceiling being a gigantic mosaic) was built in under 5 years. (slavery.... what can ya say...)

we also went to the Hagia Sophia aka the Blue Mosque which during prayer times can occupy over 6500 people (another huge building).

and numerous other things that I'll touch on when i post up pics
