Day 26 18 April 2015 Troy and the Naval Museum

This was another highlight and Troy was excellent with a guide.  Her name was Funda and she was very good. We had a lovely lunch at a local restaurant and the best coffee we have had on the trip so far.  Elizabeth has remarked that for an Italian cruise line their coffee isn’t particularly good. The museum which was an Ottoman fort had been hit on 18 March 1915 by the battleship Queen Elizabeth but not exploded.  Their museum in the fort had quite steep steps but it was well worth the visit. One ship model was wrong, it looked nothing like the River Clyde that grounded at Hellas but never mind.  I’m certain that few people would pick it as a WW2 USN ship.
