Turkey















So eventually Anni and I got to Turkey. The weather was amazing (I think I even got a bit sunburnt)!
Gallipoli was incredible, beyond words. Anzac cove, The Nek, Lone Pine and Chanauk Bair are so close to each other, and yet so much blood was shed over the land. It was weird how we were walking along and suddenly there was an open trench in which the men were fighting from.
I think the most somber moment was reading the headstones at Lone Pine.
This trip has made me remember how blessed I am to be an Australian.
