It was a good thing, that both of them where with us, because they know Istanbul quite well and we didn't see the city through the standard-tourist's eyes. Obviously we still were tourists but we saw some corner's of the city, we wouldn't have if we would've been on our own.
Anyway: we had a great time and learned a lot, although it was pretty exhausting.
Very tasty Turkish breakfast.
From our breakfast table on the roof terrace we looked straight at the Sultanahmet mosque.
Nini explaining historical stuff to the Haller-kids.

In the evening at Eminönü, near the Yeni Cami mosque (the mosque you see in the picture, though is Sülemaiye).
Inside Hagia Sofia. It used to be a church, then a mosque and now it's kind of a museum.

Inside the Sülemaniye mosque: in my opinion one of most beautiful mosques that we visited.
