Rode back on the bus from Cappadocia last night arriving at the hotel around midnight. We only had a part day in Ankara today as we had to catch a flight be to Istanbul in the late afternoon. Spent the morning enjoying a local park and the afternoon touring the Ataturk Mausoleum. I previously did a short post on Mustafa Kemel Ataturk so won't repeat myself, but suffice it to say this was truly a great man. I suspect with what is happening with the current government, Ataturk is not resting that well. Hopefully the democracy and reforms he brought to Turkey will not be lost.
We were not allowed to take photographs inside the mausoleum but I did get a few pictures outside.

And Navy
And now we head back to Istanbul.
