Anzac Day
Internet didnt work yesterday. But now Im back.
Its a public holiday in NZ today called Anzac day. It is a day to remember those New Zealanders and Australians who fought in turkey during world war 1. I dont know if you would say celebrate Anzac day? Anyway they have Anzac day in both Australia and New Zealand. I havent noticed anything special this year except that people is wearing this so called "poppy" (on pic). But I also havent been in town yet. It might be something going on there.
Last year I was in Australia on Anzac day. It was a group of people with kilts playing saxophone to the sunrise on the beach and me and Toby had planned to see it. We must have woken up around 5.30 or something and we put our clothes on, grabbed the camera and off we went. We realized that we were a bit late out cuz the sun had allready started to rise, so we ran on the beach all the way there (it was maybe a 15 min walk) but we got there too late. So we missed it. There was still heaps of people there, and soldiers and all that. And we saw a beautiful sunrise while we were running on the beach. So you know, it wasnt too bad anyway :)
I have to see what this years Anzac will bring to my memory box. It will at least give me some extra money for working on a public holiday ;) Might go and buy a poppy at least.
Och här köper vi majblommor... ja jag säger då det.. blommor finns visst som symboler i hela världen...

My trip was wonderful in gallipoli .The program was planned by gallipoli daily city tours and i vanna thank you to them because of perfect tours We did a day-long tour with gallipoli city tours and were totally satisfied. The guide was very competent and friendly, the bus service was very good and the lunch provided was adequate as well http://www.toursingallipoli.com We joined the half day city tour and i can just say it was great. Everything went on good we got alot information, guide vas good etc.
Spent three days in area and two full days visiting the park and memorials were not enough. Should have had a third. Used dardanel troy Cannakale as a base and left car at Kilitbahir. Our visit was focussed on the British landings in the Cape Hellas area and Morto Bay as well as Gully Ravine. There was more than enough to see with British, French and Turkish sites. It is a must to read up on the Gallipoli campaign before you go. Pretty spectacular and difficult terrain was dwarfed by a second visiting Suvla and Anzac areas www.privatetoursinistanbul.com Spectacularly beautiful and daunting/terrible for those who fought there. September is a quiet time for a visit with good weather although very dry. Well worth the visit Thank you all so much.
