Fact: Istanbul's role in the history of the world is unrivaled and the greatness of the historical heritage to be discovered in the city goes far beyond imagination.
Because of the location of Istanbul on the border between Europe and Asia and its historical and current relevance as one of world's main hubs, it was an obvious destination for my transcontinental cycling dream.
It was awesome to enjoy once again the hospitality of another cyclist. Long live Warmshowers!
Nevertheless I am not so much into city tripping, even if that city is Istanbul. It was interesting to be here but after two days I feel I need to get out. Tomorrow I am leaving. Destination unknown - will depend on how far the bus is going. You'll hear from me in a day or two. I will ride my bike on the way home - at least for a part. That's the only thing for sure now! It ain't over 'til it's over...
