Pizza!

1 2/3c Warm Water
2 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Yeast
4c Flour
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Oil


Put all into bread maker (I'm lazy today - it's raining) and set to "Dough".
Dough = done!

I split my dough into three and topped with:

Pizza 1
Leggos Pizza Sauce, Lamb Mince, Ham, Mushroom, Cream Cheese, Mozarella

Pizza 2
Homemade Tomato and Herb Sauce, Sliced Pickled Onions, Lamb Mince, Ham, Cream Cheese, Mozarella

Pizza 3
Artichoke Spread, Ham, Mushroom, Mozarella

Bake at 180 for about... 45 mins, but change order in the oven every 15 mins so they get cooked evenly.

So good for clearing out the fridge. I'm a pizza heathen, I know, but they were so good that we didn't even get to take a picture! Next time!

The Louvre



The line to get into the Louvre on our last day in Paris. So many people!!!

Cappadocia


 

A couple of photo's off my phone of the day we spent by the pool in Cappadocia - it had been too hot to do anything else, but around 2pm the sky opened and it HAILED on us. A few minutes later the sun came out again and I took these photo's.

Snorkeling at the Wreck - Gallipoli


 Our ride for the afternoon. Just chilling off North Beach.

 
 Some of the other people on our tour just bobbing about.




 Willy swimming (?) down to the wreck.


Man I'm good at this picture taking thing.

It's ok though, I look awesome in them too.
Willy's video of the wreck can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/A5d0NYOH5GU

Pamukkale

What it looks like when I make Willy have a photo with me...



Antalya

Practicing my boho look in Antalya. It was close to forty degrees when Willy took this photo and we had just emerged from the Turkish Bath with very little idea where we were. This is at a lookout that overlooks the entrance to the harbor. It's beautiful. We climbed down the cliff a bit and watched the sun set over the mountains in the distance.

Oh Willy, I am a dork - how do you put up with me?!
Hanging out on the boat before or after snorkeling the wreck at North Beach, Gallipoli.

More From Gallipoli




Poppies at the Lone Pine Memorial.

One of the Turkish cemeteries - only one Turkish soldier is buried here.

Looking towards where the British landed.



 The New Zealand Memorial.

Jammed in a tour bus.

 Remnants of the ANZAC trenches.

The Turkish trenches are on the left hand side, the ANZAC trenches are on the right.
The road is literally all that existed of no mans land. 
They were so close that they could hear each other talking. 
This is where the dead started mounting and partially due to the heat, flies, etc, disease became rampant. It's so nondescript now.


A Few Photo's From Gallipoli - more to come...

The first cemetery that we visited, at the Brighton Beach end of ANZAC Cove on the edge of the landing zone. Walking through the rows, reading the names and ages of the young men who perished, it's just heartbreaking.


 ANZAC Cove

 "Those heroes that shed their blood 
and lost their lives...
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.
Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies 
and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side 
here in this country of ours...
You, the mothers, 
who sent their sons from far away countries 
wipe away your tears, 
your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land they have 
become our sons as well."

- Ataturk 1934


The Sphinx - a landmark named by the ANZACs during the campaign.



 The ANZAC Memorial at North Beach.

 A statue of a Turkish soldier who rescued an ANZAC soldier - they say that he picked up the injured man in no mans land and returned him to the ANZAC side during a battle.


Lone Pine - The Australian Memorial.
