Gallipoli is a well known part of Turkey for most New Zealanders, Australians and of course Turks as one of the bloodiest battlegrounds of the First World War in these parts. Many soldiers on both sides were killed here in a series of battles but reading the history of these days you learn that there was also great respect for those fighters on the other side. Now days it is a memorial to those killed and includes a wonderful headstone with words from Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. Each ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corp) Day, April 25th, a dawn parade is held here to remember those who died.

For those who don’t know about Gallipoli, I’ll explain it:
Australia had it’s first colony established only as recently as January 26th 1788 when Captain Cook first sailed into Sydney Harbour with the First Fleet of settlers.
However, it wasn’t until January 1st 1901 that the separate colonies were united into one Federal Nation.
When Britain declared war against Germany in 1914, Australia was quick to answer the call of the motherland and go to her aid. Man...

Here is the first of my Turkey tour blogs - insha'allah. It was such an amazing experience and we saw so much that I can't hope to remember all of it, so this is my best way of remembering all the little details that made the trip so unforgettable.If you ask the average American to tell you about the battle of Gallipoli in World War, there's a fair chance all you'll get is a shoulder shrug or a well-articulated "Huh? Gallipo-wha?" Some may recall it as a footnote in Mel Gibson's early...

Ephesus.
Our next stop was Ephesus

centre for the cult of Cybele, the Anatolian fertility goddess who became
Artemis in the Greek pantheon and Diana in the Roman pantheon. Ephesus
was part of the Kingdom
of Lydia, who were
apparently the first to invent coins (~650 BCE), and then all types of games
during an 18 year...

I had only been in London a few weeks when I saw an ad for Anzac Day tours of Gallipoli. I booked it 6 months in advance and managed to get 5 others to join me. I had heard great things about visiting Gallipoli and paying respect to the fallen soldiers but I didn't know a lot about it all. In the past week I received the best history lesson of my life and strongly recommend the trip to any Australian lucky enough to be in a position to do so.We had a Turkish guide who did well to explain the ...
