We arrived at the Gallipoli National Historic Park in the afternoon to visit the battlefields where, for nine months during WW1, Anzac troops fought unsuccessfully to gain control of the Dardanelle Straits. We stopped at Anzac Cove, and
A busy second day as we had a full day excursion visiting the iconic sites of Istanbul - Topkapi
Istanbul - what a city....... on our first day we were able to explore the busy market and restaurant area near the hotel. Enjoyed real Turkish food and wandered around watching the locals and tourists enjoying themselves.
I definitely want to go to Gallipoli, but probably not for Anzac Day. I think I'd prefer the non-busy, more peaceful time to relax and take in the history. Great message on the wall, too.
