Bosphorus

We met this really nice family from Orlando, Florida, in the Hotel, Len, Nicole and their daughter Lilly. He is a professor of Biology, Lilly wants to become a lawyer and Nicole is from British Guyana. Very nice people. Nicole was sick, so Len and Lilly joined us on our tour to the Black Sea, well, almost. We took the ferry up to Anadolu Kavagi, an hour and a half trip on the Bosphorus going North, almost on the Black Sea shore.

Beautiful day, beautiful homes and palaces and mosques. They sold Ayran and Chai in the ship. And I did not get sick, I usually get rewally bad motion sickness. We talked about life and religion, and how Turkey has been becoming gradually an Islamic country again... Lilly was shocked of the way people looked at her when she was wearing shorts.

These are images of the round trip. U$5 in a public ferry, no tourist trap.
