Today was a day at sea, the only highlight being a daytime tour through the Dardenelles. Especially interesting being we cruise right alongside the Gallipoli Peninsula. As an extra bonus, the water was flat and smooth and no wind, so they allowed passengers out on the ship's bow. We were up bright and early for breakfast to get on the bow from opening time of 8am. The ship ran a commentary and was very sympathetic to Australians and New Zealanders even placing our flags on the ship's bow. We didn't actually get to see ANZAC Cove as it's around the other side of the peninsula but got a good impression of terrain and the area. Here's a selection of photos from this tour.
The rest of the day was a combination of eating and lazing around. We did go to watch an ice carving being done by the pool, only took 15 minutes from start to finish. This guy has definitely done this before!
Also we passed a Turkish navy patrol on dusk which I spotted and confirmed through binoculars.
