Don't really have a lot of time to write anything at the moment. I'm sitting on the net in the hotel in Istanbul; my flight to Cairo leaves in a few hours.
Just finished the ANZAC tour. It was an experience, although I didn't like being part of the tour for certain bits - I definitely would have preferred to have had more of my own time, and I wouldn't have chosen to do certain things.
The night in ANZAC cove wasn't as cold as people were predicting, but the temperature did drop. The dawn service was "interesting", but I didn't find it especially moving - all very formal procedure.
Apart from Gallipoli and Istanbul, we only went to a couple of other places. Nothing really worth mentioning - some place where they sold carpets (mildly tempted to buy one, but not really) and an old acropolis type place which I am trying to remember the name of, something like "pergamon".
Oh, and I didn't go for a run, because the weather was shit but I did spend 30 minutes on the treadmill and then other time at the gym (there was a gym in the hotel so I decided I should make use of it while I had the chance).
Anyway, leaving for Cairo very shortly. Must dash.
P.S. Stupid Turkish Keyboard. When I get the opportunity I might replace all these stupid characters.
