Galipoli - 17 hours return

Bus picked us up at 6.30am, 20 Australians and 6 kiwis, 350kms drive to our lunch break at noon. Tour of the battlefields started at 1pm.  The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable,  he was turkish but he concentrated on the ANZAC campaigns.  There was a series of errors on 25 April 1915 which stopped them from achieving their goals.  The impression we got from the guide was that the turks were defending their homeland, and did it at tremendous cost of life to them. We felt very somber looking at all the plaques of the young ANZACS who died fighting in a confined area. We felt very sad but thankful we were able to visit where our country's came to nationhood.  The four and a half hour drive back was very tiring. Bought some baklava to have with a cup of tea before bed.
