After another night on the train we finally arrive in Istanbul. We've managed to arrive in the morning and are fighting our way from the train to the ferry so we can cross the Bosporus to where we plan to find a hotel. The ferry is jam packed with people, and our big backpacks are making it a bit difficult. We decide to let them all leave the ferry before we get off, so we don't crash into so many Turks.
The hotel we had a reservation for wasn't ready for us to take a room, so we just left our bags and started to hunt for a cheaper place. Eventually we did manage to find a place that looked like good value, only the manager seemed a little crazy. Since we are crazy too this seemed like a good place for us, so we went to fetch our bags and moved in.
In the evening we met our friend Serhat at the Blue Mosque in Sultanahmet, but we were too tired to do much else but shake hands and promise to meet another night.
