day 3 in Istanbul
by Niklas Lindskog
Here's a short report from day 3 in Istanbul, Sunday the 20th of October 2019!
* Got out of the flat at about 2 pm after editing photos for yesterday's blog post.
* Walked down the hill to the Karaköy tram stop and took the tram to my oldest Istanbul hunting ground, Beyazit. The small streets were very empty on a Sunday. Interesting in itself, but I made my way to the Grand Bazaar area. The Bazaar is closed on Sundays, but the alleys around it had some action. Many streets were completely empty, such a contrast to the other days!
* I zig-zagged small streets and alleys and after a pit stop for cay, I made my way to Eminönu and got the tram to Kabatas. From there you can get a funicular tram to Taksim Square, but I felt I needed some cardio and walked up the hill at a fast pace instead.
* I did some shooting again, in and around Taksim, before sitting down in a small kebab place with wifi, to eat dinner, messenger and wait for Keef Charles's airport bus to arrive. It took longer than I expected, so I took another photo walk around Taksim before finally seing Keef get off the bus.
* Spent the late evening chatting with Keef in the living room of the flat. Today we will meet AlphanYilmazmaden
Be well, everybody!
