Sports and Goodbyes

Today was another uneventful day as I recovered from the tour. Something that is destined to repeat in Dubai as I recover, as well as prepare for my tour in Africa. Waking up late, I missed my free breakfast and slept in until about lunch. After this, Sarah, Becca, and I went out for food and then wandered Istanbul for a little bit. We eventually caught up with Clarissa and walked through the Grand Bazaar again while she looked for some clothes. She was taking her time, however, and eventually, we became slack to wait, and the three of us said our goodbyes and split up to head back towards town. There were some big football games on, and so the girls agreed to sit down for some drinks and watch the football while they waited for their transfer. The f1 was also on, so most of the afternoon was spent watching multiple sports events on multiple TVs. I ended up spending more time watching this as Liverpool once again dropped points in the premier league, drawing with Brighton. Soon after this, Sarah and Becca were due to depart, and so we left the pub, I helped them gather their stuff and load up the taxi. It's safe to say it was quite depressing, but we have already made plans to do more travelling further down the line, and I hope it comes into fruition. After this, I headed back to the pub and continued watching all the sports for the day. Arsenal beat Tottenham in a very close encounter, with a late Arsenal goal being the difference between the teams. I was chatting with some British guys throughout the game, but once it was full-time, it was time to head home. I had an early night to catch up on some sleep. Unfortunately, I don't have many photos from today, just some showing Oscar Piastri getting 2nd in the F1. A big result for the rookie driver.Read more
