At the Otogar

At the Otogar, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

We are on our way to Safronbolu, where the saffron comes from. We have a two our wait at the massive bus statıon (otogar) outside Istanbul. Takıng photographs of and talkıng to people ıs a nıce way to spend the time once you have drunk your 3-ın-1 Nescafe. Not exactly sure where these people were going (language barrıer) but they wanted to pose ın front of the mosque.

It is a six hour bus journey to Safranbolu but everyone is convinced the journey will be worthwhile.
