We arrived in Edirne Turkey (the ancient city of Adrianople) after an uneventful bus ride. That is until we realized that the bus did not go into Edirne instead it just dropped us along the main highway to Istanbul. We darted across the 4 lane highway with our bags to a gas station where we negotiated (very badly) for 20 american dollars to a guy at the gas station to drive us the 6 km to Edirne. On the up side he drove us near our hotel so we did not have to search around for our hotel, which was good, because our gps does not include Turkey. This is a view of the city as seen from the restaurant on the hotel roof. Ahh after an interesting start we realized that adventure is why we came to Turkey in the first place.Tuesday, January 26, 2010
