11. There is a train that is leaving soon
On the first of February we walked from the Orient Hostel to the boat crossing the Golden Horn to Haydarpasa. We we’re quite early round eleven in the morning with our train leaving on half past one. We enjoyed a stay at the seaside of the train station with a great view of boats passing by and palmtrees in front.
The trip to Eskisehir took about 5 hours covering the exotic views from Istanbul to the high hills or small mountains before finally arriving in Eskisehir.
During the ride Erdeniz joined us getting in by Izmit. He is one of the buddies in the Erasmusprogram taking care of introducing new students to the city and university. He did a great job with it, it was just one of the great examples of Turkish hospitality yet to come.
That evening we had dinner together at Filiana’s house and went ou to a bar called ‘Glow’ which is one of the best in Eskisehir and popular for it's live coverband performances.
