Yesterday was the hell bus ride, it was just so long. Left Sofia at 11pm on Tuesday and arrived in Istanbul at 7:30. After dropping my bags off at the hostel I went for a walk and checked the Grand Bazaar.

I then caught up with Kevin a guy I met in Slovenia earlier in the trip, we went to a coffee shop and played backgammon. We then went for a walk along the water ending up at the fish markets near the main bridge. There we had Fish Kebabs and then went back to the hostel for a few quiet drinks at the hostel bar.
