Arrive in Istanbul to great weather real hot and search out our hostel have a walk round historic centre and visit the Blue Mosque massive place very impressive. Spend next 2 days exploring Istanbul then take overnight trip to Gallipoli. Very sobering standing where 250,000 Turks kiwis and Ausys lost their lives in such a small area. Guide tells us over 6000 bullets found per square metre! Visit NZ Australian and Turk memorials and a lot of the trenches still in tact unbelievable place. Amazing to see such horrific things could have happened in such a beautiful place. Spend the night in Cannakale then head to the ruins of the ancient city of Troy again wicked to be standing on ground that have learned and read about so much! Head back to Istanbnul and chill for a day before flying home Historical holiday learned heaps.
