Edirne

Last saturday me and 3 friends went for a 1 day trip to Edirne. It's a small town (well every town is small when you come from Istanbul) with some beautifull mosques. I was impressed by the Selimiye mosque, it's beautifull and grandious! One of the attractions in Edirne is the oil wrestling, where men try to bring their greasy oponent to the floor! Unfortunately these games only takes place in June...
After walking for the whole afternoon we stopped on the local baker shop just in time to see everyone coming to buy the traditional Ramazan bread, they bring their ingredients like cheese, sausages, olives to the baker shop and in 5 minutes the baker cooks the bread mixed with the ingredients. We just bought a simple bread.
One interesting thing happened on the way back to Istanbul. A police operation stop stopped the bus on the highway, the bus waiter went out to ask what they wanted and came back to get a couple of water bottles to them, after this we cantinued trip! I guess they were thirsty!
