Should I Wear Shorts Or Skirts

A day in Istanbul!

Yesterday morning we leave the bikes in front of the hotel and were out walking in the city.

First, we have made a two-hour boat trip on the Bosphorus.
which is the next picture. Right background is just the way Queen Victoria
anchor.

Later, we are then passed under the bridge over which we went on our first day in Turkey (the bridge connecting Europe and Asia). Now, therefore after about 6000 km route through Turkey our paths crossed again.

After the Bosporus tour we went on foot to the Grand Bazaar where I faked a well Belstaff Jacket''''erfeilscht have. The first prize by the seller was 250 and TL 140 TL I got them then.
is quite as pronounced as in Shanghai, not (there are 10% of the initial price realistic) but without action, it also does not work. (So about half the starting price is realistic)
The dealer spoke German quite well and the action is simply a lot of fun.

for the evening we had planned to Taksim Square in Istanbul.
Tired of walking we got into the next taxi.

15 lira has changed hands and went off towards the Golden Horn.
the Taksim Square, we oriented ourselves short and strengthens us first for McDonald's.
The friendly service we brought in spontaneously how 'good appetite' in German pronounce correctly.
We have also learned in Turkish but I have, unfortunately, immediately forgotten.

saw with our eyes trained Ahmed (25 years) and wanted us immediately
towed into corresponding night bars.

We disagreed but Ahmed piloted us for it in the next ambiguous locality.

But that was not our thing and we took the matter into their own hands
. Start was a hard rock pub where we enjoyed a beer Efes.

The live band heated accordingly.

After midnight we went really going on. The flow of people just do not ripped off.
We discussed where people actually wanted to go. The cross streets were filled with people
. A pub after another moved with restaurants and Andenkenlaeden.
(almost everywhere live music of all genres)

We enjoyed it and could push us. After several visits Bars and much more
Efes Pils we got into the taxi and went back to the hotel.

Taksim Square will long remain in our memories.

The ferry has not ended!

The super-fast ferry us yesterday evening brought in only two hours in the bustling metropolis of Istanbul! Sometimes we reached the ferry at speeds exceeding 60 km / h.

As evidence, there is a picture of my GPS device.

... and maybe a picture of the harbor entrance:

Our hotel is centrally located. From the ferry terminal it was only 1.5 km.

It is the hotel with the smallest room on our tour. Small
