Hagia Sophia

So, we’ve been walking around Istanbul, taking pictures of cats, buying groceries, etc. We finally did the tourist thing today and went inside the Hagia Sophia. We decided to just go in cold with no guide or audio tour. We’ll go back a second time to do that.

I stood in the approximate center of the main floor and recorded the below video to try to give a 360 view starting with the dome. It may give you some small taste of the grandeur.

I took many pictures and you can see them at http://picasaweb.google.com/kangayayaroo/HagiaSophia#.

Those damn Vikings. You can’t take them anywhere.
