#driving #fromIstanbul #toBodrum

We set off at 5 this morning. We began our journey so early because we wanted to get to Bodrum in the afternoon. However we couldn't arrive at our destination before midnight. Why? Because our car broke down! We called a mechanic, he fixed the car, and then it started working again. It was a very difficult situation.

Anyway, we are very happy to be in Bodrum now.
