Anzac Eve. We spent today travelling toward Gallipoli. We were meant to arrive on the peninsular around lunch time and tour around the sites before settling in for the long night awaiting the Dawn service... BUT ... the Australian Governor General and the NZ Prime Minister also thought they might like to practice their speeches and have a look around before the Dawn service so the entire peninsular was closed until mid to late afternoon!!! Apparently someone thought they were important and there might be a threat to their safety :-/.
Anyway, we eventually did make our way to Anzac cove and to the site where we would camp for the night awaiting the Dawn service. We found a patch of grass and made ourselves comfortable and then continued to get more and more cramped in with the incoming masses.
There was ‘entertainment’ all night on the big screen if you couldn’t sleep but we had no trouble catching a few hours.
