Hello Everyone
Today we got up early at 05:30 to catch the bus to Gallipoli. We stopped at Eceabat for Lunch. After Lunch we visited all the Gallipoli Sites such as; Proposed Landing Beach, Anzac Cove, Lone Pine and visited many cemeterys and saw the grave of John Simpson Kirkpatrick (Man with the Donkey). We saw both Turkish and Allied Trenches. It was interesting, it bought many sad emotions to my heart with how many young lives were wasted.

We then took the boat from Eceabat to Canakkale where we stayed the night. The hotel was good but the service was hopeless.

On our tour there were about 24 people and Lucy and I met many girls who we are now friends with (aged 16 to 30).

Hope you enjoyed reading about todays events

Hoscakal (goodbye)

Harriet
