    Lunch on the Continent of Asia

    May 21, 2024 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Today we crossed The Bosphorus strait to the Asian side of Istanbul , we actually walked across a bridge from one continent to another!
    For lunch we had a famous Istanbul street food called Balik ekmek, which is a fish sandwich, The Bosphorus is teaming with small fish. probably mackerel, they catch them, grill them and put them in crusty bread, it was fresh and delicious.
    We then walked up the Asian side of the Bosphorus, viewed the fish market before walking back to the European side of Istanbul. We had a walk home through the alleyways exactly 1 truck wide, with the footpath blocked with boxes, scooters or small stools, and leading to a lot of horns, chaos and congestion with the odd fender bender.
    We are flying to Frankfurt tomorrow, then by train, to finally see Daniel and Nika, so looking forward to it!
