First stop: Bursa!

This is so awesome, I love roadtrips especially if you travel with people that you like. So we decided to leave Istanbul for a few days and our first stop was Bursa. Started of by visiting the 600 years old Platanius Orientalis, such a huge and beautiful tree. We visited the famous Ulu Camii, a very famous mosque in Bursa. I really liked the design of the mosque and all the beautiful pictures with Islamic scripts in it. Then we walked a while through the city and took a few photographs of very beautiful streets. There was also a museum that we visited on the very top of a mountain in the city with a great view. This museum is a historical building left behind by the Ottomans whereas different Padisah's has lived. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has also spent a part of his life in this building whereas he has visited it 4 times and stayed for 29 days each time (pictures of the building will be uploaded later on). Bursa is a city visited by thousands and thousands of tourists every year. Great city!
