Day 6 in Turkey

Today we slept in after ages. We had a hearty breakfast and talked to Ertugul’s familie. It was the usuall talk do you like Turkey, do you like Sakarya etc. I ensured them that I very much liked it here, due to its naturall beauty and small size and Turkey due to its vast history and beatifull culture. It makes moving around easier and faster. After the tea which is an absulote must to have we left to meet Ertugul’s sick grandmother in the hospital.

She looked well but was very weak due to the continued medication. We left after some time with a saddend expression, and hope of her recovery soon.

Afterwards Ertugul’s cousin took us to a Café to lighten the mood. We felt better and decided to go around the block.

When we returned we got to meet the rest of Ertugul’s familie who were eagerly awiting us. The family owns the building and lives in it too. They have built Apartment’s over each other. We are staying on the ground floor. After talking the uncle took us out for dinner in a hilly area. It was very beautiful and covered in snow. The history of Turkey is etched onto the walls making it a lot more magnificent tgsn it already was. We went to a resturant near that place and ordered their speciality fish. The fish is bred by the resturant and than skilldully cooked. We had some kind of baked fish platter with slightly baked cheese on it. As well as baked cheese and mushrooms, needless to say it was delicious. We had coffee amd left afterwards. We were on our way back home when Barisch got contacted by a truck funk service which he know. We went to them and they talked I didn’t get a single word and Ertugul was to tired to translate anything (well I doubt that he got most of it). They tried to make an effort to talk but couldnt make it so we left it as it was and I was quiet the entire time and acted interessted.

After that we went home and finished the day.
