Istanbul - July 2005 Back to Europe

03-SweatyHole

Sweaty Hole - Legend says that if you insert your thumb, make a wish, turn your thumb in the "sweaty hole" a full 360 degrees and your thumb comes out wet then your wish will come true! John did it. So has every tourist since the legend began, because the brass sheet and the block of stone itself has been slowly worn away by people eagerly sticking their finger in the sweaty hole. John wished for some anti-bacterial soap.
