    Went to Istanbul in April and it was one of the best cities I have ever visited and 💯 recommended
    I even sat in the same seat as you in that restaurant in Uskudar with a coffee and cake waiting for my ferry.

    Excellent again Scott... But mate you missed a trick..
    1984 and in 1992 I got the boat that goes to the last port near the Black sea and it was brilliant...
    You could get on and off at smaller places along the way and there were guys on the boat selling massive measures of vodka with fresh orange juice ..
    At the final port of call I was sozzled but it was just lovely there and you could buy deep fried mussels in batter on a skewer for pennies.
    Happy daze...

    Sad to see the big old ferries are no longer in service.

    Noticed the fishermen when I was in Istanbul but they had hopeful cats sitting near them. Thought the ferries looked a bit like long versions of the Maid boats on the Firth of Clyde in the 50s/60s.

    Cheers, Scott!! The Turkish music you played on the first ferry was so good!! Typically, it was modal and in a minor key, which is very much to my liking!!
    Your meal looked great!! Turkish food is wonderful!! What could possibly go wrong, as you grimace, Scott!! 🤣🤣🤣 I really like mackerel, it's generally low in mercury and I enjoy the firm texture!!

    Fab bit of boat riding. Is there a Scottish equivalent? Oban is probably the port with the most CalMac sailings so how many routes might you do in a day? I reckon 4: Mull, Colonsay and Lismore with if you are lucky, a short walk to get the tiny ferry to Kerrera. At worst you might get a Mac and Cheese on the trip to Mull!

    Was last in Istanbul 60 years ago but much seems how I remember it. Ferries were more numerous then. Arrived by direct train from Paris. Not possible now. Western side had trolleybuses and the Eastern side had trams. Haydapasha station was accessible then, and operational. Thank you for bringing back memories. Absolutely loved the place, but don’t think my wife would!
