monday - 8 dec 2008
pg raya aji, lepas bfast n check out, kami naik teksi ke stesen cable car utk ke Uludag Mountain..

info psl Uludag ni...

"Uludağ, the ancient Mysian Olympus, is a mountain in Bursa Province, Turkey, with an altitude of 2,543 m (8,343 ft). It is a popular center for winter sports such as skiing, and a national park of rich flora and fauna. Summer activities, such as trekking and camping, also are popular.

In Turkish, Uludağ means "Great Mountain", but in colloquial Turkish, the older name Keşiş Dağı, "Mountain of Monks," is still used. In ancient times the range of which it is a part, extending along the southern edge of Bithynia, was known as Olympos in Greek and Olympus in Latin, the western extremity being known as the Mysian Olympus and the eastern as the Bithynian Olympus, and the city of Bursa was known as Prusa ad Olympum from its position near the mountain.Throughout the Middle Ages, it contained hermitages and monasteries: "The rise of this monastic centre in the 8th c. and its prestige up to the 11th are linked to the resistance of numerous monks to the policy of the iconoclast emperors and then to a latent opposition to the urban, Constantinopolitan monasticism of the Studites.". One of the greatest monks of Christian East, wonderworking Byzantine monk Saint Joannicius the Great was a hermit at this mountain."

klu dtg turki..makesure dtg masa winter so dat boleh naik mountain ni utk main snow...dr bwh naik ke atas dlm 20 minit...n get ready la dgn sarung tgn, jaket, topi snow sbb mmg sejuk gle...dh nama pun snow..tp ari tu salji tak cukup tebal so xleh la nak main ski..dan klu bekesempatan..aku cadangkan bermalam la kat situ semalam..hotel tak la mahal sgt kat atas tu..dlm euro80 siap bfast,lunch n dinner..(tong tong 3 org br berapa)..dan hotel pilihan kami...UslanHotel

info psl Canakkale

"Çanakkale is a province of Turkey, located in the northwestern part of the country. It takes its name from the town of Çanakkale.

Like Istanbul, Çanakkale province has a European (Thrace) and an Asian (Anatolia) part. The European part is formed by the Gallipoli (Gelibolu) peninsula, while the Asian part is largely coterminous with the historic region of Troad in Anatolia. They are separated by the Dardanelles strait, connecting the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea.

The archaeological site of Troy is found in Çanakkale province."

Wednesday - 10 dec 2008
check out tp brg tgl kat hotel dulu..then trus naik bus ke tempat lagenda Troy...tempat ni kira mcm ala2 muzium lembah bujang la jugak..kubu lama troy yg ada beberapa generasi.....

info psl Troy

"Troy (Greek: Τροία, Troia, also Ἴλιον, Ilion; Latin: Trōia, Īlium;Hittite: Wilusa or Truwisa) is a legendary city and center of the Trojan War, as described in the Epic Cycle and especially in the Iliad, one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer. Trojan refers to the inhabitants and culture of Troy.

Today it is the name of an archaeological site, the traditional location of Homeric Troy, Turkish Truva, in Hisarlık in Anatolia, close to the seacoast in what is now Çanakkale province in northwest Turkey, southwest of the Dardanelles under Mount Ida.

A new city of Ilium was founded on the site in the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. It flourished until the establishment of Constantinople and declined gradually during the Byzantine era.

In 1865 an English archeologist, Frank Calvert, excavated for many years the site at Hisarlık, near Truva, where in 1870 a wealthy German businessman, Heinrich Schliemann, also began excavating in this area which he claimed to be the ancient city of Troy. Later excavations revealed several cities built in succession to each other. One of the earlier cities (Troy VII) is generally identified with Homeric Troy. While such an identity is disputed, the site has been successfully identified with the city called Wilusa in Hittite texts; Ilion (which goes back to earlier Wilion with a digamma) is thought to be the Greek rendition of that name."

lepas lunch, kiteorg naik feri ke satu pulau yg bernama Eceabat...ada jugak la tempat2 besejarah kat sini esp during WW1 dulu....n aku rase..kiteorg ni kot the 1st malaysian yg jejak kaki ke sini hahahahaha...

info psl Eceabat

"Eceabat, formerly Maydos, is a town and district of Çanakkale Province in the Marmara region of Turkey, located on the eastern shore of the Gelibolu Peninsula, on the Dardanelles Strait. According to the 2000 census, population of the district is 9,929 of which 4,778 live in the town of Eceabat.[1][2] The district covers an area of 468 km2 (181 sq mi),[3] and the town lies at an elevation of 0 m (0 ft).

Eceabat is the nearest town to World War I- 1915 Gallipoli Campaign battlefields, cemeteries and memorials to the more than 120,000 soldiers fallen from Turkey, England, France, Australia and New Zealand."
