Second week in Istanbul

Another week is gone in my holiday. Training is going well, loving the sunshine and the warm weather. Eating and training and resting… Best practice. I have been trying to try some local food as well, went for a nice kebab the other day, and Sundays we have a BBQ. Last Sunday we spiced it up with dessert afterwards – baklava ice cream… I can say that this is the new love of my life.

Hopefully within the next few days we will go to the town centre, the main part of Istanbul to check out the tourist attractions, too but until then it’s all about training…

First week in Istanbul

Time flies when you’re on holiday! Especially when you’re having a good time!

Morning starts with cardio, then breakfast. Rest after that until the next meal, then we try and have some fun as well in the afternoon. We either go for a walk in the town, go to the shops/market, or go for a bicycle ride around the town.
Here we feed doves. Metin has about 20 of them.

Then another meal before training when things get serious.

The meals/food is different from what I normally have back home, yet it’s still the same: chicken, turkey, beef and fish. I’ve never been a big fish lover but I have to admit the way they grill fish here made me love it! I could have that every day! One night we made BBQ on the terrace with chicken, beef and sausages! Luckily the weather here is still lovely, around 25 C during the day with a lot of sunshine.
