We arrived in Istanbul last week. It's the biggest city in Turkey, nearly 20 million people live in there. There are a lot of cars on the street all the time. First we went to Topkapi Palace. It was built 600 years ago and Ottoman Sultans lived here. It was so old and historic. After that we went to Dolmabahce Palace. The founder of Turkey stayed in Dolmabahce, he was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He was the biggest leader for the Turkish people. Everybody liked him. Also we saw the room where Ataturk died. In this room the clock stopped at 9.05 and Ataturk died at 9.05 in 1938. It was interesting story.  At night we went to Sultanahmet and we ate special beef. It is called kofte. Also we saw the biggest mosque in Sultanahmet and we listened to prayer. On the next day we went back to England.
