Outside the Grand Mosque of Bursa
I guess I just needed to tick Cumalikizik Village off my list of UNESCO World Heritage sites to visit. I probably just can’t appreciate the Ottoman era village since it looks so similar to undeveloped villages that I have seen elsewhere in the world. The only thing that distinguishes this one is that they were built in the Ottoman period. I decided to call it quits and just head out of the village. Fortunately, transportation isn’t difficult here since there will always be a minibus dropping visitors at the entrance.
Going in the Grand Mosque of Bursa
The minibus followed the roundabout way it took coming up the hill and eventually made it back to the main highway. Now, I need to figure out a way to get to the next spot. I was intending to go to the Grand Mosque of Bursa so I took mistakenly took a bus to Kent Meydani, which turned out to be a shopping mall. It wasn’t that bad but I still took the chance to grab my lunch at the food court there. It wasn’t anything special but I just need to keep going. Kent Medyani happens to also be a major tram stop and one of the lines goes past the Grand Mosque in Bursa. Fortunately, I have the transport card with me and I was just tapping my way through their transport network. All the while, I was keeping an eye on the map and to make sure that I get off the train at the correct stop.
