Day 5- Recovery and the Bosphorus

I woke up at Marissa's house around 1pm and we didn't get to Asli's until 4pm. The girls were tired and so was I so we had some feta and jam and headed out to Ortakoy. We went down through the marketplace and caught the ferryboat just before it left. For only 3.5 YTL, we took a cruise on the Bosphorus (thin strip of sea between the Black and Marmara/Aegean). It was really beautiful and peaceful and we got to see Asli's grandfather's old house right on the water.
Then we walked around the marketplace and I bought myself some painted copper earrings. We decided eventually to sit down and have some Turkish coffee (which I'm growing to like). We then went back to Asli's house and ate corn and vegetable soup courtesy of Belgin before heading to bed.
