@whiskeyfodder.bsky.social We went back to the same place for lunch, just so I could have the vegan club sandwich. It was delish.

Vegan menu for the win.

Trump statue? 🤔

Friday cheers from me and from my beautiful, but long suffering, wife.

@atrupar.com @susiedent.com The algorithm always wins.

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Safely back in the arms of the EU. No more errant bottle caps to torture me in the night. 🇹🇷🇬🇷

Love a bit of late night street food.

Istanbul derby tonight. Guess which side of the city we're on. (Don't mention Graeme Souness over here).

Ferry across the Bosphorous. Going to Asia for a cup of tea. As you do.

More tea vicar?

It wasn't free.

Random Istanbul snow photo.

You know it, I know it, we all know it.

There'll be no breakfast on the terrace this morning.

I opened a bottle of water in the middle of the night to have a drink. The cap came off in my hand. I nearly had a panic attack. 😂

Still waiting for my beautiful, but long suffering, wife to arrive from the airport. Ordered a second Martini. It's what Hemingway would have done. Probably.

Apparently Hemingway (he got around), other very famous people, and now me, stayed in this hotel. Suitable for a Friday Martini. Cheers all.

I'm in a taxi. The driver gave me a cup of tea. I think he learned how to drive on Wipeout. 😂

And we're off. Only 5 passengers on the bus on a quiet day, and it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to cross. 🇬🇷🇹🇷

Back on the bus. Think we're ready to go.

Another Duty Free opportunity as the bus goes through a fucking ginormous x-ray machine.

Off the bus. Passport checked and stamped. Are Turkish people short? I had to stoop to have my photo taken.

This side is very clean and shiny. Very impressive. No austerity here.

You are now entering Türkiye. 🇹🇷

No man's land.

They have some offerings from the other crowd too.

King of the world.

Passport checked out on the Greek side. Duty free shopping opportunities now.

At the border. The bus driver is having a smoke, on the bus! An elderly lady is brushing her hair, also on the bus.

Heading to Istanbul for the weekend. As you do. #BusBoy.

Ironing, Negroni, Lambrini Girls.
