Entrance to the Hellespont, the narrow strait leading to the Sea of Marmure,
to Istanbul, the Bosphorus, and then the Black Sea; an historic place, as long as there has been history |
 |
Past Canakkale, where it gets really narrow, some say 1200 meters, some say
1500 meters; in any case, less than a mile, short enough for the Persians to stretch a pontoon bridge across for their hundred thousand troops |
 |
Traffic is always brisk
|
 |
Traffic on the road to Canakkale was interesting, varied...
|
 |
Our ferry, the Good Ferry Ezine, about to arrive in Canakkale
|
 |
It's been more than a year since the Grey Wanderer's last boat ride, across the
English Channel; the weather this day was balmy, calm |
 |
Farewell, Canakkale, and Asia, again
|
 |
Our crack satnav, Tom, ever keeping track of us; we think this might have been
his first trip to Anatolian Turkey |
 |
Hello, Eceabat, the Gallipoli Peninsula, the Dardanelles, and Europe
