Part 5/7:
A Rest Day in Paradise
Day 196 morphed into a rest day, taking advantage of beautiful weather while indulging in a boat trip to the nearby Princes' Islands. We rented bikes and explored the picturesque landscape, soaking in the stunning scenery that Turkey has to offer. Here, in the embrace of adventure and serenity, we forged ahead despite some challenges along the way.
Final Preparations to Leave Europe
The day arrived when we finally stood poised to leave Europe behind, ready to step onto Asian soil. The emotions were overwhelming as I reflected on the progress made over the past six months. After several misadventures and wrong turns, a chance meeting with another world traveler brought a sense of camaraderie amidst the hustle and bustle.
