Have a proper Turkish Bath. Some nice ones in Istanbul. You’ll basically be assaulted by a fat Freddie Mercury lookalike, but its wierdly enjoyable.
There are some great rooftop restaurants as well. Its a pretty amazing city to look out on at night while drinking bucket-loads of Efes and eating kebabs. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Aye. Its really good. Though when you describe it, it sounds well dodgy.
A gert big moustacheod Turkish bloke (think Freddie mercury after loads of pies and some pretty severe sunbed sessions), gets a grip of you, pummels you senseless and generally bends you into improbable positions, while your body protests by issuing loud cracking noises.
Told you it sounded dodgy. It leaves you feeling unbelievably refreshed though.
Oh… and treat yourself to a ‘proper’ shave at one of the many barbers in the morning. Proper cut-throat razor, then singe all your neck hairs etc off. Again… refreshing stuff
thanks all for the advice. weirdly once I’d posted, the site no longer became available- dodgy local connection or ‘big brother’ censorship?
chuckled about the Freddy Mercury bit, oddly I chose to avoid.
Binners, I had several Efes- odd thing is they list rice in the (normal other beer) ingredients.
anyway, back in Calderdale, surviving prisons, culture, etc etc and broke swing arm yesterday, so an action packed weekend in all.
thanks again for the Singletrack Rough Lonely guide.
