Day 54: Istanbul, from Asia to Europe

ChennaiHamburg

After the last couple of days of snow and rain, I rolled into Istanbul, Turkey, and Istanbul welcomed me with arms wide open and a stunning sunset.

Kindness 🚲 has been through a lot. It was a great day to rest, fix the bike, and enjoy some Turkish food and hospitality.

Today is the day I will be leaving Asia for Europe. Istanbul is the only city in the world that’s spread over two continents, with the Bosphorus strait forming the dividing line between Europe and Asia.

Today is the day Freedom Seat will become an intercontinental adventure 😃.

Istanbul.
