We decided to take the early ferry back to Esenkoy on our third day. We had done a lot of site seeing and were ready for a little break. It was a beautiful morning so after grabbing a Starbucks to go we walked to the ferry port. Dad pet a stray dog when we were leaving our hotel area and he ended up following us the entire way to the ferry port. I wanted to take him home, but wasn’t sure he’d fit in a carry on.
This is the Eminonu port where the ferry is. The wake was so incredible that the boats pictured were rocking and rolling the entire time we were there. The boats had grills on them and there were actual people cooking with that rocking. Also in the picture is a tour bus and the tramway. Eminonu is the transportation hub of Istanbul.
All of the ferries were leaving at the same time and waiting for a ferry coming the other way to get through a bridge at the entrance of the Golden Horn. We were amazed at how fast everyone was going and how well the ferries are maneuvered.
The boat was still in Esenkoy and floating when we got back. It was a little bit chilly and after going out for lunch I had a nice warm nap and then spent the rest of the day preparing photos for Bryan’s birthday photo scavenger hunt.
