Day six-Rumeli Fortress and the other side of Istanbul.

Today we visited the Rumeli Fortress opposite the Sea of Marmara. We took a tram to a bus station. After arriving at the station there were no buses to our destination! Fortunately there was a fleet of taxis awaiting our departure! We spent 45 minutes trying not to slip on the narrow staircases! After a a beautiful experience at the Rumeli Fortress we were told to leave because some students were having a snowball competition of the highest mark on the wall. We were reminded that it was a tranquil museum and that the wall was under strict preservation!
Once we left the fort, we boarded a ferry and to our surprise we were handed sealed envelopes contains broken maps and a note! Our task was to locate a restaurant from the docks. Sadly Ishaan's GPS decided not to work and his group faced a slow start. In the end, we all found the restaurant and tucking in to a well deserved lunch!
