It is one thing to admire a mighty stone lion among the 3,000-year-old Hittite treasures in the Ankara Museum in Turkey and quite another, just hours later, to stand among the Hittite gods and kings themselves!

They are carved at every turn in the impressive cliff sanctuary of Yazılıkaya.

On Holland America Line’s 2009 around-the-world cruise aboard the ms Rotterdam, we were lucky with the weather and on April 28 were able to stop at ST. HELENA, one of the most remote places in the world. We had a wonderful time. Among our visits was Napoleon’s tomb.
