Day Seven Revisit Part 3 - Saturday June 12 - Canakkale
After visiting Troy, we got back on the bus and headed for Hotel Akol in Canakkale. On the way, we took a short side trip to a mountain that overlooked the Dardanelles. On this mountain were several WW-1 vintage canon bunkers built into the hillside. These were used by the Turks during WW-1 to repel the British and French attempt to take control of the Dardanelles in the Battle of Gallipoli.
While we were at this military site, Pastor Wayne was 'ambushed' by a couple of the younger people with Silly String - although rumor has it that Susan was their weapons supplier.
After cleaning up the Silly String, we made it to Hotel Akol. Many of our party walked along the sea shore, admiring the 'Wooden Horse' that was used in the movie Troy (with Brad Pitt) that was donated to the city, and purchasing souvenirs such as wooden horses from the shops along the shore.
