Originally thought to be the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great, but later found to be the last King of Sidon

Our day started at 2:26am when the heavens opened and one hell of a rainstorm hit! Thunder reverberated through our room, lightning crashed, the chaos directly overhead, good fun all around! After that part of storm passed we went back to sleep and when we got up, went back to Galata Tower. Yesterday we hadn’t gone up it. The view was gorgeous! Also learned most of the info from the plaque out front was wrong (as well as Wikipedia) but no need for more history! After another rainstorm hit while we were on top of the tower, we had a quick breakfast up there, another walk around the top of the tower, then back to the hotel to check out. After check out we visited the Archeological museum and immersed ourselves in grave stones, sarcophagi, and ancient relics for awhile. After a few beers and a trip to the airport, we’re now off to Entebbe Uganda.
