Jost, Jonas, Burcu and me decided to go to a breakfast and see the Rumelihisarı (Rumelian Castle).

Below the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Köprüsü (Bridge)

First we had a traditional Turkish breakfast with Sucuk, Pastırma, Cheese, Honey, Kaymak and some vegetables.

The it was time to visit the Rumelihisarı (Rumelian Castle). The entrance fee was 3 TL. The fortress was built between 1451 and 1452 by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, before he conquered Constantinople.

After the daily tour we went to İstiklâl Caddesi, where we rest some time and drink a beer.

And it was time to do one more thing that day. Ana, Jost and Jonas went home, so Burcu and me went alone to the basketball game between Iran and Slovenia. Slovenes were underestimating the Iranians, but they still won. The game was more like a comedy in a theatre. Final score was 65-60 for Slovenia.

When we came home, we decided we will eat some food, so we cut some Slovenian budjola and panceta and some Swiss cheese. After the midnight food we played Uno cards with Menzberg (village in Switzerland) rules.
