Last party in Istanbul

Again in Besiktas. We stayed there two nights, met more Besties, including Tony's new flatmate and two people from Warsaw. After welcome party we went to Grand Bazar for a quick shopping. We bought water pipe tobacco and Backgamon :)
In the evening i managed to meet with Ayser from SAS 2008. We talked a bit of SAS, our friends from there and nearest journey plans. We parted early because we were all supposed to get up early in the morning.


It was rather hard to get out of Istanbul. We tried hitchhiking, then took a bus to what was supposed to be a better spot and got stuck somewhere in the city. I almost lost all hope when a nice sibling pair stopped to help us out. Help was not quite what we expected. It was so much more. They took us to a bus station and bought us tickets to Edirne, the last town before the border. At the station Mato met a boy, around our age, whose brother works in Bratislava. What a coincidence.
In Edirne we walked to a better hitchhiking spot. One local man took us from a gas station to the Bulgarian border and we got to EU.
Bye bye, hospitable Turkey!
