We tried to go to Emirgan Park last weekend - only to be turned back as it was full. Each year it has a spectacular display of tulips - the flower of Istanbul and of Turkey, tulips have a fascinating history and are native to this part of the world.
The park rises above the Bosporus shoreline and is wooded sufficiently to be cool in the summer with municipal planting in between.
They have a couple of new playgrounds that T1 and T2 went to check out, baby sat in the stroller and watched - we met friends and had snacks under a tree and bumped into some folks we knew - a good day for all.
