Next friday and next weekend is here! So lets get outta town again.
Next time we planned to go to Istanbul. I had a plan to run here that Marathon. And that was whole my plan. mabye see some mosque or church. But most important was marathon. So at friday we took the train to Eskisehir and than to Hadyarpasa. They have here really nice trains and pretty fast. Like 250 km/h. it s not like in Czech republic everyday stuff. We were 3 - Lenka , Matej (both CZE) and Nora (HUN)
In Istanbul we took the ferry from Asian side to European side and than we took tram to Sultanahmet. So we are in the centre of Old City of Istanbul. Hmm, nothing interesting. We will see tommorow. We found our hostel called Old City Hostel. Guy below the desk called Mustafa, Izmail or something like that told us the price, we wondered that is almost for free but after we realized that was only joke.
FIRST LESSON - DONT BELIEVE TURKISH GUYS - THEY ALWAYS WANNA CHEAT YOU NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY ARE!!!
We slept at dormitory with american and swedish guys. Lotta interesting smell:) But nevermind. Saturday morning we met Rafal and Martyna (both POL). They went to TopKapi and then we met them after our visit of BlueMosque and checking the gardens close to TopKapi. After we we nt for lunch to terrace and Rafal got what he wanted! According to him the best food in the world- Iskandar. I have never try it, so I dont know. After delicious food on roof we went for a walk to Grand Bazaar. Here I and Nora beated down price for waterpipe from 95TL to 72TL and after I beated down for my new trousers (brown, do you know other colour? ) from 40E to 32E. After shopping time we split up and I went running to Feshane Expo center for my starting number, chip and stuff like that
. Nora went to Spice Bazaar and Lenka with polish section went to modern city close to Taksim. I think they had a good time there.
Sunday morning I woke up so early and went by bus to start of Marathon. There were lot of people. According to results at Marathon race were like 1500 people and at 15km race 2000people. martyna with Rafal went meanwhile I was running to Adam Mickiewicz museum and Lenka with Nora were a fun of mine during my almost 3hours long race. After race we took ferry back to Haydarpasa and then train. Rafal and Martyna were again separated and they didnt want to come with us. Shame on them!
And at home was waiting surprise for us - Zsofi made a really delicious dinner! Thank you!!
