I failed to mention that Lisa was approached by the Turkish police. They told her they wanted to check my visa when I arrived. I wasn't directly told I had to go right to Lisa's place in Bozcaada. I was told I could only fly into Istanbul.
"I can't fly into Izmir?"
"Why would you want to fly to Izmir when Bozcaada is much closer to Istanbul?" I didn't want to say that's where Emino lives.
Yes, I was held for an hour at the Istanbul airport. I surprisingly stayed calm. But I figured they would try to fine me again. Amazingly, they didn't and even more so they let me go.
I rushed over to the domestic side of the airport and bought a ticket to Izmir. By taking a domestic flight I shouldn't have to go through passport control. Was someone following me or was I just paranoid?
I didn't have to wait long and the flight was short. I freaked out a bit when I saw the passport booths but then I saw they were empty. I took the shuttle to the Izmir bus station and called Emino.
"I'll be at the Kusadasi bus station in an hour - meet me there." He did.
