Day 3/4: After having made it to Istanbul with about 30 minutes of delay and needing to buy an istanbulkart at the vending machine (app exists but is region locked in all stores, whyyyy?), I just barley made my high-speed train connection, getting on as the conductor was blowing the whistle. Then had a wonderful Lahmacun at a traditional small bakery in Konya, during which I realized it's currently Ramadan and would've been invited to break fast together by a lovely couple, but sadly had to keep it moving to Karaman on a CAF HT65000. Taking a quick taxi ride from Karaman YHT station to Otogari (Bus station) made me barely reach my connection again, and a comfy 2.5 hours later in a 1+2 seated coach, I've arrived in Silifke. Got an apartment here over night and was glad to be able to take a shower again after almost 2 days of constant travel. This morning I got up to catch my ferry from Taşucu to Kyrenia/Girne. Thanks for following along. This concludes my trip report, unless someone is interested in my trip home from the UK in about a weeks time, then let me know.
