... out the walk was a mere training exercise for what was to come the following day as we staggered seven kilometres up a mountain to see the Acropolis sounding even worse than the battered Renault 12s that asthmatically spluttered past us. Even the cab drivers at the top applauded us when we arrived and told us how impressive a climb that was.

Note to Tania, next year on my birthday can we just go to the beach please????

... ram--country. And here it must be said about how the various land segments are divided. Sometimes it seems that the only wild plants that grow in Turkey are thorn bushes. And those that aren't growing have been cut down and piled up to form fences between the fields of thorn bushes. If you're going cross country in these parts you have to weave through the living thorn bushes and find places and a way to climb over the thorn bush ...

... in the road that occurred before the base was approached. And, I saw civilians walking in just the way I wanted to go. So, I decided to try again the next day. And, skirt both the kind citizen and the military base.

I just love climbing hills. It's fun to see what's on the other side. In this case, sheep.

It seemed to me, at least at the start, that I could, in the day, walk counter clockwise around the reservoir that is at the eastern base of the ...

... Can you blame the Germans for saving this amazing monument from further destruction? as the Sultan at the time let them taKE it and the Turkish authorities didnt really get onto preserving all of this stuff until the 1990's. But still it feels a little sad that the turks don't have this beautiful piece of History to call their own.

Rocks, and rocks, and rocks piled upon each other. That is really all ruins are. We flock from all around the world to see this pile of rocks or that pile of rocks paying massive admission fees and for guides to tell us about this pile versus that pile. But we are all so fascinated with these ancient piles of rocks that link us to a mysterious past that we hope that by knowing we will somehow find answers about ourselves, our society, and our situation. And ...

... offered. Numerous times they would offer a refreshing splash of lemon water which they sprinkle into your hands. You rub you hands together, take a big whiff to get the sinuses working, and dab it wherever you feel necessary to help freshen up. We're talking real service here folks! It sure made the 12 hour bus trip comfortable. Greyhound back home in the U.S. should be ashamed of ...

... cost another 20 000 to fýx up but it was still worth it. (FYI 1.15AUD = 1TL) We quýckly settled ýnto our quaint bedroom and headed out to see the town's main tourist attraction, the expansive Acropolis ruins on the hill. We took a while to find our way through the maze of village streets. Luckily a school boy showed us the way to a hole in the roadside fence. This allowed us to enter the ...

... that is. As Gallipolli is one side and Canakule is on the Asian continent. We watched "Gallipolli" at the Hostel we were staying at and the following day headed to Troy. I climbed into the Trojan Horse and stuck my head out the side, it is not as big as I thought it would be. The guide started his Troy tour by holding a beauty pagent, remember Helen was reputed to be a very beautitul woman ...
