Today was such a fun day!
We enjoyed our breakfast from the rooftop of our hostel since it was so much nicer out today.
While we were eating, we heard someone yell "MESA!" When we looked over, there was a guy on the rooftop nearby waving at us - our friend Louie that was on our day tour to the Sea of Galilee back in Israel! We knew he was in Istanbul, but not that our hostels were right by eachother.
We took a tour up the Bosphorus - the strait separating Europe and Asia - and it was awesome. Louie and his friend TJ also went and we had a great time. We went way up, almost to the Black Sea. We got out on the Asian side and hiked up to this old castle/fortress: Yoros Castle in Anadolu Kavagi. We did some slight rock climbing and got up on the fortress to have this great view!
The picture I've attached today is one from the top!
We also ate lunch in the village below. We sat right on the water for some yummy fish! I even tried anchovy - not too bad!
After we returned on the ferry, enjoying the warm tea and the sunshine!
We now plan to do a little shopping before meeting up with some new friends for dinner.
