REVISION: I did NOT cross the Bosphorus into Asia the other day. It was the Golden horn I crossed.
Istanbul is divided into three landmasses and a small handful of islands. The Bosphorus, or Istanbul Strait as it is called here, connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara; the Golden Horn is a fairly large inlet that feeds into the strait. By way of the Marmara one can sail to the Aegean and on into the Mediterranean.
However, I have planned a trip today into the mighty continent of Asia - it will be conquered today! That is, if the rest of my rag-tag group of ruffians can get their asses out of bed and into the shower. I made the mistake of waiting on some, and as you know if that leniency is extended to one it must be extended to all. This also means we will be a fairly large crowd (all 12, 14, I don't know how many are here).
I have decided to forgo pedestrianism, and am braving the public transit system of Istanbul today by taking a tram to the water's edge and a sea bus across the strait. I hope it's an amphibious vehicle, or maybe a hovercraft! Yea! or possibly a WWII era landing craft used in the D-Day assault of Normandy. Oh how I love surprises!
P.S. I don't proof read these. If any misprints/ untruths are discovered feel free to let me know.
