Plans for 2012

Starting to form some ideas for my next international trip; at the moment i am leaning towards an ANZAC Day pilgrimage over to Gallipoli Bay, Turkey. I have found a tour with the Fanatics, which is a touring company who target Australian and New Zealand tourists abroad. They do tours for people to go to Australian national sports events like the Ashes and Soccer matches as well as tours of some of the world biggest festivals.

I think the tour, in all is around about 400-500 pounds, depending on how long i do decide on making my trip for, as well as flights and whether i want to make a stop over in Germany on the way home. At this stage, the plan is to fly from London, into Istanbul begin a 9-12 day tour of the country and fly back to the U.K. via Hamburg and Berlin in Germany to see some friends. I think that going to the dawn service there would be an amazing experience, especially if i can wrap it up by finding the ANZAC AFL match live on some seedy turkish television channel. oh yeah.
