 Info 'Grand Mosque'

'Bursa Grand Mosque or Ulu Cami is a mosque in Bursa, Turkey. Built in the Seljuk style, it was ordered by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and built between 1396 and 1399. The mosque has 20 domes and 2 minarets. Ulu Cami is the largest mosque in Bursa and a landmark of early Ottoman architecture which used many elements from the Seljuk architecture. Ordered by Sultan Bayezid I, the mosque was designed and built by architect Ali Neccar in 1396–1399. It is a large rectangular building, with twenty domes arranged in four rows of five that are supported by twelve columns. There is also a fountain (şadırvan) inside the mosque where worshipers can perform ritual ablutions before prayer; the dome over the şadırvan is capped by a skylight which creates a soft light below, playing an important role in the illumination of the large building. The horizontally spacious and dimly lit interior is designed to feel peaceful and contemplative. The subdivisions of space formed by multiple domes and pillars create a sense of privacy and even intimacy.'

Kemudian kami bergerak ke 'Silk Market' yang terletak tidak jauh dr 'Grand Mosque'. Perkarangan luar antara Grand Mosque and Silk Market sangat cantik siap dengan air pancutan lagi. Di sini banyak peniaga menjual barang berasaskan sutera. Paling best kaw. ini ialah di tgh2 nya ada ruang kosong utk 'coffee garden'. I pun ambil peluang, minum teh epal yg sedap tu slps penat 'window shopping', kekawan yg nak dtg sini dicadangkan membeli skarf silk yg murah 5 - 10 lira shj. Yg lain tak payah laa sebab kita akan jumpa dua market lg kat Istanbul iaitu 'Spice Market' n 'Grand Bazaar'. Kami diberikan masa 1 jam sahaja utk jelajah Silk Market.

Info Silk Market

'Bursa's pleasant Covered Market (Kapalı Çarşı) is much smaller than Istanbul's 4000-shop labyrinth, but it's only the centerpiece of a much larger Bursa bazaar district laced with narrow streets, many of them covered to protect shoppers from bad weather. Don't miss the handsomest of the hans: the İpek w(Silk) Han, the Koza (Cocoon) Han, and the Emir (Lord's) Han. The narrow streets harbor a dozen hans (caravanserais), old Ottoman workshop-and-warehouse complexes arranged around a courtyard and sealed by massive armored doors. Silk is the strong point in many shops. Silk was Bursa's prime cloth trade for centuries, and although much of the silk now on sale comes from elsewhere, the variety and selection are still impressive. In April the farmers would buy their silkworms and set them to eating mulberry leaves. By May or June they had spun their cocoons (koza). Huge sacks of the valuable cocoons would soon fill the Koza Han to be haggled over by farmers, brokers and buyers. Of special interest is the Eski Aynalı Çarşı ("Old Mirrored Market"), which was actually built as a hamam (Turkish bath), but later converted to shops.'

View tatapan akhir di Bursa kerana nak bergerak ke Istanbul.

Kemudian kami terus bergerak ke Istanbul mengikut jalan datang semalam. Bermaksud kami akan naik feri sekali lagi. Kali nii lagi best naik feri kerana kami berada sepenuh sedar berbanding semalam. Di pertengahan jalan kami berhenti di RnR untuk ke tandas.  Tp tandas awam di sini banyak masalah seperti air tiada, tandas sumbat dll. Org Malaysia mana boleh berhenti, mesti nak shopping punya. Kebetulan tempat kami berhenti menjual pelbagai barang berasaskan minyak olive.

Than kami ke Butik Leather. Yang menariknya siap dengan Fesyen Shownya. Yang nii tiada dalam iteaneri dan tambahan dr TG utk dapatkan komisyen jika ada org membelinya. Kekawan Jaket kulit di sini memang wajib beli kerana kelembutannya dan di jamin oleh kerajaan Turki. Harganya agak mahal dr 450 USD hinggalah ke 1500 USD. Ikut kemampuan. Boleh beli di Bazaar nanti .....tapi takut kulit apatah and kualitinya tidak dijamin.

Pukul 4.30 ptg kami bergerak ke Hotel Iqbal Deluxe yg terdapat di tengah-tengah pekan Istanbul. TL telah ingatkan kami tentang kemudahan yg ada dlm hotel tersebut. Ada wifi free tp kena dapatkan user name n password dr kaunter. Tiada kettle dan tiada air panas. Aircorn jika buka akan keluar haba panas. So kalau nak sejuk buka tingkap. Breakfast dan mkn mlm di hotel ini....Selesai check in TL ingatkan peserta mkn mlm jam 7.00 mlm dan wake up call jam 6.00 pg dan breakfast jam 7.00 pg. Kami memulakan lawatan jam 8.30 pg berkumpul di lobi. TL juga memberitahu arah Kiblat...............
