Thursday, February 13th. 6:30 pm.
After we had touchdown in Istanbul last Thursday, and had a cab ride that would rival any SNL skit, we arrived to meet our seemingly gracious host from airbnb to be shown to our apartment that we had rented for the weekend. Tired, hungry, and a bit smelly we were all excited to regroup before we hit the town for our first night in Istanbul. Unfortunately, it seemed as if Istanbul had different plans for us. Due to an electrical problem in our apartment and a series of sketchy events following our arrival we decided it would be best to cut ties with the airbnb lady and move on to an alternate option. On the prowl for wifi, showers, and kebabs, of course it began to rain. 6 hungry, tired, and frustrated Americans wandered the streets of a Taksim square until we lucklily stumbled upon our safe haven, Bunk hostel. We occupied the last 3 rooms, and it seemed as if our luck was turning around just in time to start enjoying ourselves...
More to come!
