Primož, Katarina and me decided to spend our new year vacation time in Istanbul, where my girlfriend Burcu lives. We left at 5 o'clock in the morning from Ljubljana and we drove to Vienna. It took us approximately 4 hours to get there. We parked in the city, in the Geiselbergstrasse, as friends from Vienna group in CouchSurfing suggested. We were still early for our 14:30 flight so we walked a little in the cold city.

Since the cold didn't suite us, we decided to take S-bahn to the airport. So this is one of the cheapest ways to go to Vienna airport, just leave the car at Geiselbergstrasse (free) and take S-Bahn S7, which costs 3,6€ per person to airport. So we arrived at the airport, too early, and we waited, waited. We didn't like the airport, because you have nowhere to sit there.
Finally the time has come and we boarded the plane. Sunexpress was our flight company.
At 17:30 we arrived to Sabiha Gökçen airport in Istanbul, named after first female combat pilot. We crossed the customs with a lot of wine, spirits and meat without being detected and it was time to go on the bus to Kadıköy.
And here we are, at Burcu's place. She set a programme for us and for the first night she planned salsa night for us. Primož ana Katarina were tired so only me and Burcu and two more friends, Mithat and Iranian guy Kourosh went there. I must say it is not fun to drink a small beer for 16TL (8€). People danced a little, but I expected a little more from them.
