Thanks for all your comments, I have some more which I,ll try to get on. Rimms it was quite busy I think we were just lucky when the photo,s were taken. we were there on the 1st October for 4 days. We stayed just off Istikal St, which is the Taksim area. I have never seen so many people in my life as there are walking up and down Isitikal St, day and night.
