day 10 in Istanbul
by Niklas Lindskog
Hi!
Here's a short report of day 10 of my Istanbul trip, Sunday, October 27th.
* At 8:30 in the morning, I walked with Keef towards Karaköy, where the plan was to catch a cab to the airport bus station at Taksim Square. But we were lucky. A cab came right away and I flagged it down for him. We stayed in touch during the day and it seems his trip back home went smoothly.
* I got some fresh bread from a nearby bakery and had a slow breakfast in the flat, which turned into lunch.
* At about 2:30pm, I got out and took the ferry back to Kadiköy on the Asian side of the city. It was Sunday and I thought there would be a lot of people walking the seafront promenade. There was.
* I walked the promenade longer than on previous visits and finally turned inland where there was a staircase leading up into the town.
* Sunday night felt like Saturday night in Kadiköy. A lot of people in the restauarants and cafés! Alphan had told us that the Republic day celebration was coming up and many people were going to be on holiday on the Monday and Tuesday.
* As the sun was setting, I went down to the ferry terminal and got the ferry back to Karaköy. It was dark when I got there and I mixed some tourist shots with a bit of nighttime street photography.
* The flat felt a bit empty without Keef, but at least I could whistle as much as I like without being told off! ;-)
Take care, everybody!
Niklas
