Exploits in Istanbul 2.2

Ferries must be ridden, so they were, over to the Asian side. We went over to Kadiköy and walked across the neck to see across the bay towards Fenerbahçe. One of the lunch places I was looking for was closed, but in the pedestrianised zone near the ferry port, the other was glorious. My plate of salads from the bar was charged by weight, and had more interesting flavours than I’ve had in a long time. And Robin chose the prize – loquats stuffed with minced lamb and lentils. Here they are (perhaps not the best food photo in the world):

Then a bus up the coast to Üsküdar and its very fine market, and the ferry back. No sign of loud celebrations or protests yet…
