Sharing a little collection of photos from my two most recent trips, two separate trips to Istanbul / Baku, then later Malta / Romania / Moldova (including Transnistria). Packed a tote bag and filled the pockets of my jacket.
Went ice skating and (almost) played a football match in Baku. Listened to old turkish records in Istanbul, a city I always return to. Took a soviet night train from Romania to Moldova. Wrote and read. Great memories!
In total, I think it was 16 days (Istanbul+Baku 6 days, then Malta/Romania/Moldova 10 days)
Baku, Azerbaijan (Pic. 1-2)
Istanbul, Turkey (Pic. 3)
Malta (Pic. 4-7)

București, Romania (13)
