We arrived early morning in Istanbul around 10:00am and headed to our hotel called Mama Shelter.

We got there via Uber which was surprisingly not that expensive. The total was 100 lira which divided by 3 is under $40.
After checkin, we headed off to find some place to have lunch. We found this cute place that B’s friend referred us to and shared a wrap with three types of meze (starters). The bread was so delicious. B also had the licorice liquor which is Turkish that basically tastes like licorice vodka.
Our vacation in Turkey has been really amazing.
I had lot’s of concerns about being mistreated and getting haggled for tips and being overcharged but the Turkish locals have all been really nice.
