1st Adventure in Istanbul

Having arrived saftely in Turkey, got to the hotel, met up with the tour group and had dinner Phillipa (a NZ girl on the tour) and I decided it was time to go for a walk and have a look see.

We had been warned about the possibility of being harassed by Turkish men saying things like I want fuck you, have sex with me and the like and some even going so far as to touch you. So baring this in mind we walked confidently and not being on our own though we should be Ok and if not had decided on a course of action – loudly and clearly telling the man involved to GO AWAY!

We walked down to the harbour where there were stalls on the ground selling coats, shoes, belts, and carts selling a wide variety of food including fresh grilled fish which even though we had just had a delicious dinner were tempted by.

The harbour edge and the bridge especially were lined with men and boys fishing they were catching small silver looking fishes.

However out leisurely pleasant walk didn’t last long – we were joined by “our friend” who wasn’t a friend at all he was young Turkish man who was making continuous rude overtures to us and although we ignored him to start with – he was somewhat secrete while we were around larger No’s of people as soon as there were less people around his comments would get louder and he would get closer at which point we turned around and told him to go away – but we soon realised that this only added to his enjoyment when he decided to show us his dick! Which actually prompted not the screams of horror he expected – after the initial shock I laughed – I just couldn’t believe what we had just seen!!

At one point he came up behind us and startled me when he touched me and even my automatic response of turning and hitting him didn’t even put him off.

“Our friend” left us when we turned up the main road that lead to the area our hotel was in. he called out thank-you and by and finally left us alone
