Canakkale

Gallipoli Tour - Canakkale

Today we travelled 315km southwest to visit the battlefields of Gallipoli. A totally moving
experience that was. We visited Kabatepe Museum, Ari Burnu Cemetery, Anzac Cove, Beach
Cemetery, Shrapnel Valley and Plugge’s Plateau. We felt very special to see all the sites of the
battlefields and those very young innocent lads who gave their lives for their countries. The last
stop had a huge crowd and many many buses of Muslim woman for International woman's day
celebration. We caught a ferry from Europe to Asia side for the remainder of the trip. When we
arrived at the hotel, we were given a very smelly room that we later exchanged. Buffet dinner
with floor-show that evening being The International women's day.
