Today I woke up well after a nine-hour sleep and no alcohol in my body. Two days of continuous hangover – and a lot of walking- was kind of exhausting. So, I took the way to the harbour, I had to find a Turkish sim card for my mobile. On my way to the harbour, I passed from Topkapi Palace and I entered. I took pictures and walked around its gardens. Then I sat in an outdoor café with a view in Bosporus. From there I could see the bridge that connects the European with the Anatolian side and many ferries pass by. I also saw a lot of minarets; the city is full of mosques.
The French guys left on Sunday evening with the bus to Skopia and after that Rafael would go to Hungary and Jean to Paris, probably with some more stops in between.
Yesterday I met Ozkan, a close friend of my Turkish tutor in Amsterdam who offered to host me in his apartment for some days. Not that the hostel is bad, it is actually very cosy place and the people are very nice but I have to save some money and wash some clothes. Maybe I go back again for some days. So today I check out and I will meet Ozkan at 5 pm to go to his place. Consequently, I am changing neighbourhood and Istanbul is so huge!
Two observations concerning the city: First, the majority of people in the streets, or in the bars are men.
Second, there are a lot of policemen around, in the streets, in the metro, everywhere.
