Day 24: Istanbul

My last day in Istanbul is already almost over. In the morning, I finally managed to enter the Cysterna Baziliki without making a line. The entrance fee of converted almost 15 EUR have been worth it! The atmosphere down there with the columns, the water, lights and it's reflection is impossible to describe.
After that, I collected my backpack at the hotel and took another Turkish Breakfast.

The adventurous part of the day started right after: The transfer to my hotel for tonight, close by the airport, by public bus - 30 km to go! Surprisingly fast I had found a bus which went in the right direction. The bus has been fully packed with people. As I didn't understand anything, I was continuously checking on Google maps, where I was. Finally, I arrived at the station, where I needed to change the bus. If I wouldn't have had arrived already there, I would never have found the station I guess. Nevertheless, the next bus came right on time. Even that one was completely full of people, but after overall 2.5 hours of bus ride (standing with my backpack of course) I arrived at my destination of today.Read more
