Bus trips in Turkey

OMG - One thing İ dıd not remember about Turkey was how far away everythıng was! We got on the bus at Eceabat to come down to Selcuk - should only be about 400 kms. 7 hours later on the bus we arrıved! Boy were we stıff and sore. The bus was great though. We go to watch movıes on the back of seats just lıke planes and we had a comfort stop for about 30 mıns where we ordered hot food. And on the bus they served water cake and tea or coffee (sorry I cant fınd the comma on thıs keyboard).

Now we are ın Selcuk. Thıs comment ıs for my Canberra famıly - Kat Steve Hannah and Xander - when ın Selcuk Turkey we choose to stay at the Hotel Canberra! Great place and very relaxıng - especıally the roof top cafe where we had dınner and beer and wıne.....

Gallipoli today

Gallipoli Tour information


Did a 6 hour personalised tour of Gallipoli today. Just amazing - the museum, Lone Pine Cemetery, Anzac Cove. Brings tears to your eyes (and Pauls too).

Off to Selcuk tomorrow to visit Ephesus.

Istanbul to Eceabat

Where we are staying at Eceabat and information on Gallipoli Tours

We were supposed to catch the bus to Eceabat today but when the transfer came to get us, the van drove us all the way to Eceabat. Turns out that the hotel we were statying in in Eceabat had business in Istanbul so they just brought us back with them. It was great!

Took about 4 hours to drive here so we relaxed for the rest of the afternoon....
