Day 19: Selcuk to Canakkule
My clothes weren’t dry in the morning, so I packed them up and wore dirty clothes on the bus. On the upside, it was by far the nicest bus we’ve taken so far, although I wouldn’t exactly say the 8 hours flew by.
We arrived in Canakkule about 5 p.m. and immediately signed up for the Troy and Gallipoli tours. At 73 Turkish Lira, it will the most expensive day—I hope it’s worth it! Afterwards, Jess and I got a kebab to eat and went to the hotel room. I finished (finally!) reading “My Name is Red” and Jess watched a documentary on Gallipoli and the 1985 film with Mel Gibson. I fell asleep early in preparation for the 8:30 a.m. departure.
