      night bus to ankara

      February 5 in Turkey ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      got around 3 hours of sleep, as expected. i arrived in ankara around 7, where it took me almost an hour to figure out how to get metro tickets. ankara is not a tourist city, guess i'll have to get used to this kind of stuff. because the busses were hopelessly (!) overcapacitated, i had to walk another hour until i finally found the iranian embassy. it was under construction, so to enter, you basically had to slip through a hole in the fence to get in.

      there, i had to find out that i should've printed the visa application, so i had to run to a copy shop, where i miraculously managed to get it done. back at the embassy, it took another one or two hours until i finally held the visa in my hands. 75$ well spent.

      because my experience in ankara hadn't been the best and i had heard from others that there is fuck all to do there, i decided to head straight back to the bus terminal, where i hopped onto another bus, this time straight to capadocia.

    • Mövenpick Hotel - Ankara

      Dinner on our own tonight. Trying to do some packing. We bought much more stuff than usual so now trying to cram a bunch of stuff into our two carryons and ship them as regular luggage. We each get 2 bags free on Turkish Air ( hopefully I’m reading that correctly!). So we can take our backpacks and 2 bags full of goodies on the plane. Janet is taking this on as a master challenge.

      Tomorrow we travel 5 hrs to Istanbul and have the rest of the afternoon off before doing dinner at 7. We’re skipping the 90 minute Bospherus cruise
