Day 02
30th August 2010 – Istanbul
More city roaming. Visited the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar. Both were very very busy and were not actually very cheap.
By the sea front, locals were reeling in fish and dropping them straight onto a giant hot plate. Had a great fish sandwich!
Walked into the north of the city and caught the old tram up through the busy shopping area, to a massive park, where a stage had been set up for the evenings Ramadan festivities. Walked back down, to a restaurant/bar that a friend recommended, called “Lib-Deryia”. It was in the penthouse of a massive apartment block – very weird entrance – felt like we had gone to the wrong place. When we got to the top, we were pleased to find a great bar with an astonishing view of the whole city.
Walked down to the south of the city, and had a traditional kebab for dinner. We then went to meet Apul – a carpet weaver that Laetitia had spoken to earlier. We joined him for tea. He told us all about his background, his day to day life and Ramadan. We then
said goodbye and went to smoke a “shisha”next door, which was fun, before heading home to the hostel.
