Back in Turkey
5:30 the alarm went off and we got up. At 6:48 we boarded the train and this time said goodbye to home for the next couple of months.
Plane to Istanbul
A quick 3 hours later we arrived in Istanbul, where our first mission was to find the right spot where the shuttle from the parking will pick us up. But this went smoothly and soon we were finally back at Sprinty. All good and no issues :)
From there we started the drive east, crossed the Bosphorus and made a stop at a Turkish Migros to stock up on food.

We also filled up diesel, for the amazing price of 1.15 per liter. Nearly half the price of Switzerland…
Then it was another ~30 minutes and we reached our place for the night, close to a small lake. A lot of turkish people are camping here as well, sometimes with tents but also with caravans.
