Day 30, Aug 11 (112km) - Is this Germany?
... they drive like that on the mountain roads in fjord country in Norway where the roads are single lane but two-way traffic. Another thing I noticed that on my 3rd day in Turkey I have seen several Burger Kings but no McDonald`s yet. How peculiar.
I arrived at the ferry from Eceabat to Çanakkale with one minute before it was leaving - good timing for a change. Çanakkale was full of life and really ...
IS THIS THE FACE...TOPLESS TOWERS OF ILIUM?
... Drizzle at 0949 passing through Caltidere but maybe we will have such conditions all day. It's dreary out, 250k to go to Canakkale at 1003.

Loo break at 1014. I stayed aboard to get the journal updated which ...

Tomorrow we will drive Jabula as close to the commemorative site as we can and then walk the rest of the way there with our supplies. Apparently it is going to be 10 degrees overnight, oh well nothing we haven't camped through before :) The Dawn Service starts at 5.30am and then the Australian Service at Lone Pine is at 10am.

Gallipoli
We left Istanbul at 6am for our trip to Gallipoli .Levent was driving us and he was very quiet he hardly spoke so it felt a bit like 20 questions finding out where we were going. He didn't mind taking us everywhere and was in no hurry as we all wanted to really experience it all.
On a beautiful sunny day it is hard to imagine what took place here so long ago .The stupidity and futility of the amount of lives lost is certainly ...
