Canakale, Golupolu and the Dardenelles

All going well so far even if a little more slowly than I expected. Canakale and the Dardenelles straits really very interesting. ANZAC day had only been the day previous to the day I arrived, so quite a number of Australians around to honour the day. Gallipoli is apparantly the only remembrance day that is joined by both parties who fought in the conflict. Both sides it seems developed a real respect for the way each side fought the conflict, and the way the other side treated prisoners of war.

I had quıte a long chat with Aussie who was with party of hıstory students who were over to honour the day.

Mon 27th April Good but short ride up to Golupolu, where I enjoyed delicious fish kebab.

Tues 28th April Another good day, managed 45 miles today, so starting to get into my stride.
Arrived Keçan and after booking into good hotel had a walk around quite big town where a couple of ageing hookers tried to drag me into a bar!

Wed 29th April Made my way to Uzenköpru where I stopped for lunch. Much merriment in Kafeteria where a guy was cracking and eating hazel nuts - Turkish viagra - 2 or 3 times he kept indicating. All the other guys were laughing their head off.
By the time all this was over, it had started to rain so rather than push on, decided to find hotel in town.
