2013.02.23 - Istanbul2

Today, apparently, I am already more used to the stuff I wrote yesterday. That's why there's a lot less to write about.
I had a more efficient trip to the European side (one could say, I got lost less often), and walked to the Haga Sofia via the area of the big Bazaar. I got lost at exactly the same spot. Nevertheless, I made it to the meeting point at Haga Sofia, the big church-mosque-thing where I met a friend and his cool friend. Together we walked around the Hagia Sofia and the Topkapi-palace. Both quiiite nice places worth visiting. In the time we weren't staring at diamonds and discussing how much poison-power those troll-sized swords would have had in Diablo 2, we had nice time eating, drinking and talking. Lovely day!
At 8pm, back to Asia, I had some nice sweeet sweets, and headed back to my host and a nice film, then went to bed.


2013-02-25 - Back home

This day wasn't that thrilling, so I am saving the blogposts for later.

I just was frightened to be too late for my flight, mostly because of the "unforeseeable traffic" in Istanbul. So I left at 08.10, took the train to the terminal, walked to Kadiköy (you can google it if you really want to know what this is); there I bought yummy sweets and took the bus to the airport. And there I was, 1 hr 45 mins before the boarding time.

One more thing: finally it was a warm sunny day, after two so-so more or less rainy days.
Back in Austria: snow everywhere!
