The Blue Mosque


The Blue Mosque wasn't easy to get to;first I caught a local train then outside the train station I waited in vain for a local bus to get to the mosque.But then it seemed pointless waiting for the bus especially as the young couple next to me were completely clueless about the time of the next bus.
Luckily I got a lift from an Indian Malay man who had just dropped off his son.
Was the Blue Mosque worth the effort?Well the building was architectually interesting with its stained glass coloured windows and the spider-like canopy side entrance on the second floor of the mosque.At the end of my visit I again had to rely on getting a lift to get back to the train station.
