Island trip

Today we went to an island with başak (spencers girl) and some of her friends. We started off getting a ferry to the Asian side of istanbul where we had an amazing breakfast/lunch. We got shakshuka, tzatziki, gozleme and about 10 other kinds of dips and pastries. I think its probably the best meal I've had on this trip so far :)) (the shakshuka at the subi markets is definitely better tho). Then we met başak's friends and took another ferry to the island. The beach was rocky and a little uncomfortable but we had a lot of fun drinking beers n listening to music on the beach. The water was a little colder than it is in Greece so the swimming was wayy more refreshing and enjoyable. One of the other girls (her name was irem which means heavenly garden ahaha) spoke really good English which was awesome for me coz it meant I didn't have to spend the whole day being a third wheel :)). We stayed at the beach for the entire afternoon, the sunset was magnificent. For dinner we went to a fast food pasta place where I got a great big bowl of garlicy pesto for $5. It was a super duper awesome day :).Read more
