Page "hobbies" Paragraph 421

I stayed on the car for a few minutes until, turning right, it entered a huge square, Bayezit, with the Bayezit Mosque on the right and the gate to the university just beyond it.

There I got off, crossed the square, and on the side directly opposite the gate found a good restaurant, hard to come by in this part of the city.

Called the Marmara Gazinosu, it is on the third floor, with signs pointing the way there, and has a terrace overlooking the Sea of Marmara.

After lunch, in the arcade on my left just before reaching the street I found a pastry shop that sells some of the best baklava -- a sweet, flaky cake -- in Istanbul.

It's a great favorite of the university students, and I joined them there for dessert.
