We left Bursa the way we came but without the guy in the bad suit. Indeed, though we did see him when we were leaving. We were carrying our bags down to the bus stop and this time we saw him sitting on a concrete wall, smoking a cigarette, no shoes, and wearing some scruffy clothes.

From cruising the Bosporus to marveling at the Iskander Kebap in Bursa, this trip has been filed with adventures stretching across the Black Sea, the Marmara Sea, and soon the Aegean Sea, and of course a bit [...]
Tweet This morning me and my wife are heading off on our first international adventure together. It’s her first time in an airplane, first time leaving Morocco, and first time going through airline security. It’s all bound to be interesting and surprising. We’re both excited and anticipating the adventures ahead of us in Cappodocia, Istanbul, [...]
