Istanbul
For exploring Istanbul, we decided to leave Sprinty at a parking space outside and stay at a hotel for a couple of nights. Actually until Friday, so we have 3 full days in Istanbul. On Friday we will then fly home for a wedding and on the following Monday (so in a week) we will pick up Sprinty again and the main quest continues.
After we parked him close to the airport, we used the shuttle from the parking and went to the airport. There we checked with customs what’s required for us to fly out, even though Sprinty will stay in the country (it just requires a form, but we need the physical boarding pass first, so can only do it on Friday).
We were quite hungry by the time we reached the city and ate some burgers at Betro. They were good and special in the sense that the burger was fully baked into the bread…

For Dinner we had Japanese, it was quite a change to eat twice a day in a restaurant :)
