Trip To Turkey 2

We stayed overnight in Eceabat and met a lovely Australian couple who are tripping around Europe on motorbikes. Tony was in heaven.
Next morning we decided to head over to Canakkale (pronounced Cha-na-ka-le) for a moring of wandering around the navy museum and shops with a fellow Kiwi from Wellington. We met the tour bus after lunch and headed 30 minutes south to the ruins of Troy. The actual city had been added to and built on top of over many hundreds of years (can't remember actual numbers). The place is worth a visit if you're interested in Greek mythology and archeology, even though there's still a lot more excavating to happen.

View back to Eceabat from the water break.

The navy museum is inside the fortress on the Canakkale
side of the Dardenelles. 

Street of cannons at the fortress.

Unfortunately the museum was shut.

The boardwalk at Canakkale. Boats on the left, cafes on the right...

...and lots of jellyfish in the water.

This trojan horse was donated from the movie.

A brick wall riddled with wasp holes.

The different excavated levels were marked in this area.

Iti at the west ramp, where treasures were supposedly
 found and smuggled back to Germany by the first "archaeological" group.

This is the remains of where Paris and Hellen lived in Troy. 

A Roman theatre - just a small one.

The South Gate now ...

... and then
