Something fun about our Turkey trip was that we got to go out at night! It was a blast exploring cities that we completely foreign to us! We also got to take the metro in Istanbul! I missed those! It definitely a highlight. The first night we went out to a place called Taksim Square. It's kind of like the Times Square of Istanbul. It was alive and well at night and we just walked through the streets, checking out some stores, listening to music in the streets, and people watching.
These ice cream guys were hilarious! They had these metals sticks that they used to scoop out the ice cream and they would do all sorts of tricks before they even put it in your cone. It was highly entertaining!
The second night we made probably one of the best decisions of our lives. I don't have all the pics yet but I wanted to get these posts up! We went to a place called the Sapphire which is a mall, a restaurant, and residential. It's the tallest building in all of Istanbul and all of eastern Europe! It was unreal!
You could see for miles. All the city lights, the bridges, the water. It was
amazing! We just stood there in awe! You have to go up 54 stories on an
elevator and then 2 more levels up on stairs. The elevator goes so fast your
ears pop! You really do feel like you’re on top of the world. I was with JT,
Jezz, Thomas, and Spencer. They made us feel pretty safe. I’m glad Jezz and I
are both in agreement about how it’s just so much more fun and chill to be with
boys haha! We stood at the top just enjoying the view and talking and taking
pictures for over an hour. There was a huge Turkish flag up there as well. JT
is obsessed with it haha!
These next few pictures are taken in Canakkale, which is not too far from Troy. This horse is the one that was used in the movie! This hotel was on the water too and we really enjoyed walking through the little town and then sitting on the water, talking for the rest of the evening.
