La Isla Soleada

Today we went to one of The Princes' Islands - the biggest, best one- in celebration of Ss 19th. We were taken, by ship, to the island, where horses substituted cars and fairy-tale houses, guarded by colorful flowers and stone figures, manifested into reality as if from a sweet dream.

We got there from Istanbul's European side by taking a vapour - a public ship that transports citizens from harbour to harbour - where we got sunburns which is why Ds body skin has turned into a rosy-cheeks like colour. Seagulls were following us on our way as if they wanted to protect us and join in our "celebration". Maybe they just wanted our food, whatever.

All in all it was a nice day, made up of icecream, cheap braceletes and other niceities. But the best thing we left with was an eternal souvenir in the form of a dazzling memory. And dazzling red skin to match.
