We were picked up from our hotel at about
6.45am and after stopping to pick up one other couple we were off to Gallipoli,
which is about a five hour drive. We did
stop for morning tea and our next stop was in Ecabai where we were served lunch – soup,
chicken or lamb meatballs with salad and an apple. The next two or three hours were spent
visiting Anzac Cove, the various monuments and several graveyards which are
marked by many headstones, however nobody is sure who is actually buried in
which plot. Further onto Lone Pine and
finally the 57th Battalion
graveyard which is the only graveyard for the Turks. We have also seen many trenches that would
have sheltered the soldiers nearly one hundred years ago.
