Gallipoli

An early morning ferry ride over the Dardanelles and we were on the Gallipoli peninsula. We visited  the beach and cemeteries of Anzac cove then to the cemetery where Simpson was buried ( of Simpson and his donkey fame) then to Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair. A special moment for the Australian and New Zealanders on the tour.
Unfortunately we only had half a day here before the long drive back to Istanbul.  For the first time on the tour nearly everyone had a litlle snooze except Sandy who was scared she was going to miss something on the way.
We had "our last supper" with our tour guide and new friends before our last night together in hotel. Sad to be finishing tour but have had a wonderful trip.
