Turkey

Turkey officially the Republic of Turkey is a contiguous transcontinental country, located mostly on Anatolia in Western Asia and on East Thrace in Southeastern Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Iran and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea is to the south; the Aegean Sea is to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. The Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles (which together form the Turkish Straits) demarcate the boundary between Thrace and Anatolia; they also separate Europe and Asia. Turkey's location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia makes it a country of significant geostrategic importance.

After visiting the Turkish Masjid replica in Midrand, my heart has been set on seeing the real masjid and all the history it holds. as it was my dream to go their my dad fulfilled it and before i knew it we were on our way to Turkey to bask in its glorious architecture and rich culture and history.

Upon arriving in Turkey i met a few people from London who i became good friends with. we toured together and most of all had loads of fun. We visited the Top Kapi museum which contains both religious and historical artifects. the To Kapi museum has the greatest amount of the hair of the Prophet Mohammed, the last and final prphet of God according to the Muslims. I visted many other places such as the Blue masjid which is the original masjid of the one we saw in Madrand. I even got to scuba dive in the Medetaranian Sea which was an amazing experiance.

Visitng new places and making new places is was inspires me nd this trip definitly inspire me...
