Hello hello,

Just a quick note tonight. Nessie and I are about to book our hostel for Safranbolu.

This morning we had another glorious breakfast and made our way by tram and bus to Chora Church. This is a very old church that wwas converted to a mosque at some point throughout history. Plaster was put over all the murals and all the gold was torn off the walls. Years later, it was converted back into a church and the murals were preserved. It is still very interesting to see.

In the afternoon we went to the grand bazaar and the spice bazaar. Very fun.

Alright love all of you, and I will write more once we get to Safranbolu. Same distance as Manitoulin. FUN FUN!

Love Poke/Nicole
