Movies and popcorn at the hostel never materialized. Uğur (our "bartender") totally forgot, and I told him his selection of a current movie was probably Short Circuit on VHS-Pal or something along those lines, so no big loss.
Instead, the dozen of us kept him busy getting beer while we all threw dice for some low-stakes TL. As the winning was spread out, no one really lost anything and we were able to play for quite a while for no more than the cost of a beer. We had about 8 new arrivals and they were all happy to join in. Still a fun bunch here at the hostel. But after hitting about 2am and having lost my 7 TL, I called it quits.
Since this turned into an early night, I wanted to get up and see if I could take a photo or two of the sunrise over the Sea of Marmara from our rooftop. Without setting my alarm (even though I wanted to take a picture, I didn't want to take it that badly), and managed to wakeup right at 6:30am with no problems.
Breakfast started at 7:30, so for 45 minutes I just sat upstairs in the bar on the computer, knowing delicious Nutella awaited me at that point. Nutella advertising may have you thinking it is only good on breads for breakfast. I posit that Nutella would be good on pretty much anything. But someone else can try and let me know.
And now, it's 10am. Time to get ready to head out for the day. I think the Spice Market is on the agenda. And maybe a trip across the Bosphorous.
