Check in to the hostel I was in before. Elena is meeting some of her student friends here. As they haven't been to Istanbul they go off to do the main tourist sights I saw when I was here a month ago. I find some slightly more out-of-the-way places, but only very slightly. Istanbul seems very odd after the rest of Turkey - it's completely different with the number of tourists and the prices. Oh well, it's the price you pay for visiting an amazing city.
I walk miles up towards the outskirts of the old town and walk along the walls a bit before getting the tram back. Ordinarily I wouldn't use public transport like this but the fact I've somehow moseyed nine stops away from the hostel makes me feel justified.
It's ANZAC day today, where the Ozzies and Kiwis commemorate Galipolli, so the place is rammed with drunk cons and farmers. It's quite fun but I'm nearly falling asleep at the table so I have to call it an early night.
