Phin and I wake up leisurely and head over to pick up Debra and Kim at their hotel. After realizing why they woke up covered in glitter, we all head down to the harbor to catch a ferry to the neighboring island of Heybeliada. Phin and Kim on one side of the buggy

 A brief, yet adventurous, horse and carriage ride later and we get to a beach club for a swim and relaxing afternoon in the sun. The no-car island is picturesque and we enjoy the views from the ferry rides in and out of the city.

After saying our so longs to Debra and Kim, Phin and I head to the train station and hop on an overnight to Sofia to start a 3-day train adventure through what would turn out to be some very interesting landscapes...
