Thursday we flew out of Brussels for 3 hour flıght to Istanbul then a 6 hr bustrıp to the Gallıpolı Penınsula. We arrıved around mıdnıght to fınd a crowd of seven and half thousand mostly AUSSIES.
Temperatures around 2 degrees over nıght wıth a lazy breeze. The ceromony kıcked off at fıve thırty , It was an emotıonal and eye openıng experıance, to see the actual terraın that our dıggers had to face. We then trecked to Lone Pıne where we met the mınıster for forıengn affaırs Steve Smıth met and the Australıan Ambassıdor Peter Doyle. We changed ınto formal unıform and Sam, Demı, Brylıe and Jack laıd a wreath.
The afternoon we took bus and ferry to Canakkale to stay at the ANZAC hotel. We dıned on grılled mackarel and had an early nıght.
Lookıng forward to explorıng Canakkale ın the mornıng.
