ANZAC cove was our next stop the next day, we were woken at 5am and had a lovely breakfast in the hotel.We then boarded the bus, which was put onto a ship for the crossing of the Dardenelle Straight.The bus was put into the cargo hold with us still aboard and then when it was secured we were allowed to go up on deck.Kylee and I sat talking with Chona, before I got up to stand at the very front of the ship, watching the other vessels doing the crossing.It was unbe...

We got up the next day and drove to the ancient city of Herapolis.It was a misty cold morning and it had rained the night before and fog hung about in the Taurus mountains which we were passing.We got to the city of Herapolis which was eerie in more ways than one.We went to the graveyard first which was huge, the cenotaphs, graves and mausoleums were the most intact I had seen.The city of Herapolis had been somewhere the Greeks had sent their terminally ill for t...
