G100 Team

Welcome to the Lyall Bay Surf and Lifesaving Club's Gallpoli100 Team page.

In August 2010 we have a team of 12 heading to Turkey with 4 Australian teams to introduce surf lifesaving and surf boat racing to the Turkish people.

From this blog we will introduce you (friends, family and sponsors) to the team and keep you updated on what we have been doing and when we arrive in Turkey how things are going.

Mosques, markets and more heat


Friday was our touring day. The tour was focused on the big sites of Hagia Sophia, Topkai Palace, the blue mosque and the Grand Bazaar.

Amazingly all four are located within walking distance, although it seemed a lot further when we were walking in 40 degree heat, some of us wilted badly, others stepped up to the challenge.


Below are some of the photos of the sites that we saw.

Jimmy (Guneye) our Turkish guide. The Turkish Government requires that every tour has a Turkish national with them. Jimmy has been great and tells some fantastic stories, some true and some not...
