A few tourist stops in Iznik (formerly Nicaea). It’s a lovely town, filled with trees and greenery. The city was the home of the First Ecumenical Council and also the Seventh (the deliberations solved the problem of iconoclasm- and changed the church policy to allow the depiction of images). 
Then it was off to Istanbul again. Another ferry ride cutting off several hundred kilometers and we landed in Istanbul, found a beautiful hotel with a balcony overlooking the Sea of Marmara (for $50). We spent the day relaxing, catching up on email and just enjoying the city. We went back to the Buhara (Martin #1) for dinner and had the same waiter. It really was like being home.
