We woke up early today to leave for Edirne. Bariş thought that resting at home would be a waste, so be took us to Edirne. Alpçan couldn’t make it so only Ertugrul went along from them. The drive took 2:30 hour’s.
Once their we met Bariş’s aunt, who invited us for breakfast at her home. She was very happy to have met us, and asked the usuall question’s.
After that we went to a museum nearby and looked at antique artifacts. From their we went to the biggest Mosque im Turkey Selime camii. It was magnificent, the old architectire was from the old Ottoman empire and truly marvelous. We went inside and were in awe the whole time. It was truly beautiful we also went to 2 other Mosque’s who were also very beatiful.
Then we went to a bazaar and looked around. We then went to grab a quick bite at a resturant. We ordered the special meşhure edirne tava çiģeri, it was meat from the cow fried. We didn’t want to know because the meat was from somewhere inside the cow and we might not have eaten it.
Then we did some carraige riding, and were embaressed since everyone was staring at us. After that we looked some further around and left for the bus stop.
Once home we told the family of what we encounterd today and called it quits for today.
Ein Gedanke zu „second last day in Turkey“
The Selimiye Mosque is truly beautiful. The balconies of the minarets on the northeast and northwest corners are accessed by three separate staircases. Did you see that? It was nice of Barış to take you to Edirne to show you around. And you have also been to Sakarya, another city in Turkey. This way you have experienced the Turkish culture a lot more.
