Troy 27th June The excavations here started back in 1871, fuelled by the dreams of a German man. The site is now UNESCO listed. I wanted to go back in time and just see and feel how it really was.

Wakening to fresh air and the sound of the gently pounding surf is much better than any alarm clock.

This morning we got up at 6 and by 6:30 we were having breakfast and were out of the hotel by 7. We had a long journey ahead of us. About 5 hours drive to a small town called Canakkale(Chanakkale pronounced in Turkish). The drive was quite interesting. The scenery was constantly changing and there were some spectacular views of the Aegean Sea. T...
