From Upper Hutt to Gallipoli

On Saturday we travelled to Upper Hutt on the train. We weren’t sure which way to go when we left the station till Graham spotted this. He said, “Follow those people”. We did, and found our way to town. We had a good look around, ate our sandwich on a park bench and then found a club for a cheap drink to wash it down. We thought Upper Hutt was quite a nice place, unlike some of the suburbs we passed on the way there.
 When we arrived back in town, Dean and Nodoka picked us up from the station. We went to see the Gallipoli exhibition at Te Papa.
 These images are two and a half times real size. Their impact is every bit as large. 
The exhibition literally walks you through the months from the troops landing on the beach to their final retreat. There are many interactive exhibits along the way. Very moving.
