Goodbye Turkey!

As we are traveling without much of a plan from Turkey to Greece, by bus and boat, we have to pass through the little seaside town of Bodrum.

We arrive in Bodrum at 5’o clock in the morning, our plan was to just spend the day and take a ferry to Greece in the afternoon. It feels weird to leave Turkey, which we have come to highly appreciate over the past two months. But we are leaving, took a decision for the better or the worst, we don’t know that yet. We only know we should get to the ferries before they stop circulating in November.

On our way to the centre of Bodrum, I spot an open bakery and we decide to have some breakfast while we would discuss our further moves.

“Which ferry should we aim for?” I take a bite of my favourite Turkish Cake and pause, this is seriously the best version of it I have ever tried in the past two months.

We look at each other in silence, enjoying the bite of bisquet melting in our mouth. Nodding our heads in agreement, that this cake is exeptionally good.

“Even better than the one in Istanbul!” We keep on agreeing with eachother.

I try the chocolate filled “Simit”, it is still warm.

“What if we stay in Bodrum for a few days?”

Thats how the breakfast conversation about ferries and Greece, turned out to Bodrum and where to find a place to sleep.

Based on, what I believe to be the best bakery in Turkey, we stay just a few more days and nights. Glad that we don’t have to say goodbye just yet.

A few more days of soaking in the inspiration I am receiving from this country since two months.

Walks through the town and the market. Drinking fresh pommergranate juices.

Exploring all the streets and caffe's.

Appreciating the view.

Enjoying the coffee.

And each morning we find ourselves at the bakery that made us stay. Eating our last Turkish “Trilece’s” and chocolate filled “Simit’s”, while we talk about our journey, the one behind and the one that still lays in front.
