About and Plan

Woohoo. I'm really gonna go looking for trouble today. Well, here goes...

I have no car, no bike, no mule, no donkey. Just my feet and my wits. It is 12:40 PM. I must go to Yeditepe University and meet with a professor. Hopefully, I will stay for half an hour or so, then leave.

The spot is near a small town called Çayağzı. The Istanbul bus system calls it Riva. Their site claims I can take three buses from Yeditepe to the western edge of the town. The spot is on the east. From there I will walk. Their site claims 155 minutes, given Turkish mass transit efficiency I'll round that to 3 hours.

I won't make it to 4 PM. I will be there sometime between 5 and 7, however, I hope. If I am not on my way at 3 PM, which a little more than 2 hours from now, I will abort.

It's unfortunate I will be without a GPS or a camera. I'll manage with a printed out map. I'll content myself with leaving a note, if I get there.

The way back is "89 minutes". Two hours. I'll be home by 9-10 pm tops. I'll get some money for a cab in case of an emergency. If that doesn't work, I'll have to ask locals for help and/or hitchhike.

Whoever you are, wish me luck.
