Anzac Day, anzac day tour

DAY 4: MONDAY 24.4.2000 Left Istanbul for a drive to Gallipoli Peninsula 332 km. Drove through beautiful country side and little sea side villages popular with holiday makers. Quite misty this morning, stopped for morning tea and saw lots of backpackers heading to the same place for Anzac Cove. |

Next stop Gelibolu where we will be staying the night. Then a further drive down and across the Peninsula to Kabatepe to view the war museum. Even more people here . Headed for Anzac Cove where our soldiers landed on 25th April 1915-85 years ago. |  |

Here is Ataturk's famous monument on which is written " They have become our sons as well ". Found the grave we were looking for near that of Simpson's Grave Walked to Sharepnel Valley Cemetry so peaceful and pretty and drove up to the highest point where there is a statue of Ataturk and the New Zealand monument. Quite hot this afternoon and lots more tourists. Glad to get back to Gelibolu for tea. |
