Day 3 - Istanbul

Day 3 started with a little delay, I don't know why, but during the time at the airport I became interested in chess and got a little absorbed in it. Due to my low rating, I initially had good success, let's see if the enthusiasm lasts. After a short internet search, the next destination was clear, it should be the Yildiz Park in the Besiktas district. The journey from the hostel took about 45 minutes by bus+tram. They were always filled up to the last available standing spot :) Upon arrival at the airport, I loaded my IstanbulKart with 150 Turkish Lira (~7.50€), with this starting capital I am still moving around 3 days later. I think it's worth enduring the hardships for that. However, in this case I went 1-2 stations too far. Getting off there, I suddenly felt hungry and went to a nearby restaurant with very nice staff. I had to walk back the previously traveled stations to reach the entrance gate of Yildiz Park. What surprised me a lot was that the world here was much quieter than outside the gates. Few people and very little noise. I found the park as a kind of valley of relaxation, hills rose up on the right and left, and in the middle, small streams and lakes were built. And like everywhere in Istanbul, there were also plenty of stray cats here. After the little relaxation tour, I took public transportation back to the hostel, and once again, I am back in the hustle and bustle.
