Doodling around in Istanbul, 100m away from our old accommodation - (host Engin was 'really sad') - we went to our new accommodation as a group of four. Yes, that's right, for two nights we shared a cute apartment with Kathi & Peter.<br /><br />A trip to Hagia Sophia, long walks, playing cards in the park, and zooming around on the ferry were part of the last days in Istanbul. Peter also treated himself to a sheep's foot soup, devouring the chunks of meat and fat. The taste and smell of the soup were exactly what you would imagine from a sheep's foot. The taste probably still haunts him to this day.<br /><br />After a few nice days, including exploring the Asian side of Istanbul and the Kurdish quarter, it was time for us to take the overnight train back to Sofia. We lost Kathi and Peter halfway in Plovdiv, have fun guys :)<br /><br />A little tip: Leaving Istanbul on Saturdays takes at least twice as long. It can even happen that you ask the bus driver to drop you off in the middle of the street because it's faster to walk.<br /><br />There was a little shock in between when Kevin had to fix a website, which was a difficult task without a laptop. With a few tricks and thanks to a tablet, it somehow worked. Kevin was visibly relieved and we could finally sleep. At least until the three-hour passport control marathon.<br /><br />Arriving back in Sofia, Maria didn't feel 100% healthy, so it was time to rest in bed. Our hotel had a mini-gym where Kevin could entertain himself in the meantime.<br /><br />Today we continue to Thessaloniki by bus, we're curious to see how this journey will be.<br />

Doodling around in Istanbul, 100m away from our old accommodation - (host Engin was 'really sad') - we went to our new accommodation as a group of four. Yes, that's right, for two nights we shared a cute apartment with Kathi & Peter.<br /><br />A trip to Hagia Sophia, long walks, playing cards in the park, and zooming around on the ferry were part of the last days in Istanbul. Peter also treated himself to a sheep's foot soup, devouring the chunks of meat and fat. The taste and smell of the soup were exactly what you would imagine from a sheep's foot. The taste probably still haunts him to this day.<br /><br />After a few nice days, including exploring the Asian side of Istanbul and the Kurdish quarter, it was time for us to take the overnight train back to Sofia. We lost Kathi and Peter halfway in Plovdiv, have fun guys :)<br /><br />A little tip: Leaving Istanbul on Saturdays takes at least twice as long. It can even happen that you ask the bus driver to drop you off in the middle of the street because it's faster to walk.<br /><br />There was a little shock in between when Kevin had to fix a website, which was a difficult task without a laptop. With a few tricks and thanks to a tablet, it somehow worked. Kevin was visibly relieved and we could finally sleep. At least until the three-hour passport control marathon.<br /><br />Arriving back in Sofia, Maria didn't feel 100% healthy, so it was time to rest in bed. Our hotel had a mini-gym where Kevin could entertain himself in the meantime.<br /><br />Today we continue to Thessaloniki by bus, we're curious to see how this journey will be.<br />

100m weiter von unserer alten Unterkunft - (Gastgeber Engin war "really sad") - gingen wir in unsere neue Unterkunft zu viert. Ja genau, für zwei Nächste teilten wir uns mit Kathi & Peter eine süße Wohnung.

Ein Ausflug zur Hagia Sophia, laaaaaange Spaziergänge, Karteln im Park und Herumdüsen mit der Fähre waren Teil der letzten Tage in Istanbul. Peter gönnte sich auch eine Schafsfußsuppe, dessen Fleisch-Fett-Brocken er sich hinunter würgte. Sowohl Geschmack als auch der Geruch der Suppe waren genau so wie man sich einen Schafsfuß vorstellt. Vermutlich verfolgt ihn der Geschmack noch heute.

Nach ein paar schönen Tagen an denen wir unter anderem im asiatischen Teil Istanbuls oder im kurdischen Viertel waren, ging es für uns wieder mit dem Nachtzug zurück nach Sofia. Kathi und Peter haben wir dabei auf halber Strecke in Plovdiv verloren, viel Spaß euch :)    

Kleiner Tipp: Samstags aus Istanbul abzureisen dauert mindestens doppelt so lange. So kann es auch Mal vorkommen, dass man den Busfahrer bittet mitten auf der Straße auszusteigen, weil es zu Fuß schneller geht.

Einen kleinen Schock gab es zwischendurch als Kevin eine Website fixen musste, was ohne Laptop ein eher schwieriges Unterfangen war. Mit ein paar Tricks und dank Tablet war es irgendwie möglich. Kevin war sichtlich erleichtert und wir konnten endlich schlafen. Zumindest bis zum dreistündigen Passkontrollmarathon.

Wieder in Sofia angekommen, fühlte sich Maria gesundheitlich nicht 100% fit, deshalb hieß es einfach rasten im Bett. In unserem Hotel gab es ein Mini-Gym, wo sich Kevin in der Zwischenzeit austoben konnte. 

Heute geht es weiter nach Thessaloniki mit dem Bus, wir sind gespannt wie diese Reise wird.
