Last Saturday, in an effort to get some sun and prepare myself for becoming a turbo tourist while my little brother is here, I went on a Bosporus boat tour. The tour was on a municipality boat starting from Eminönü to Üsküdar and then to up past the second bridge, a little further north than Istinye and back. The tour was 10L and didn’t have a tour guide per se, instead just a brochure with a follow along on your own map. It was particularly fun on the way downstream as we watched the view from the water of the area along the Sahilyolu, that I run most days. The coolest part of the trip was just as we were passing Baltalimani, about to reach Bebek and we say 3 dolphins jump out of the water. It is a strange sight to see them that far up, because they don’t like the Black Sea to the north and usually have no business in the straight.
