... the next couple of hours!! He knew his way around, obviously.... and I was quite chuffed to have found a 'friend' :) but the cobbled streets eventually defeated him.

The Old Town is the largest preserved medieval settlement in Europe and has been inhabited without interruption down to the present time and is completely enclosed in a thick, 6km long wall. No doubt bits of the wall have been built/repaired at different times, by whoever was "holding fort ...

But of course I didn’t say anything. I didn’t have to!

Setting out this morning, Brian’s foot kept hitting his left pannier. Seems that one of the major welds had broken through and the whole thing was twisting funny over the frame.

You may remember back in Scotland when Brian’s previous rack did this and we patched it up with string and ...

Another beautiful day. Sunny 78 degrees on the island of Rhodes. We travel to Lindos half way down the island. To see the Acropolis were Paul spoke to the Greeks. A long climb to the top with a view to forever. Just outstanding. Back to the boat early to catch some sun by the pool.

I am going to upload a couple of pics from yesterday on Myconos to give you an idea of the beauty here.

... recommened a place from a local, which turned out to be ok. Honestly, we've had better Mousakka in San Francisco, but the Greek Salad is pretty amazing. Who knew Cucumbers, tomatos, feta and olive oil could taste so good? We've tried to make our own using exactly the same ingredients, but somehow they manage to do it better.
Now we're off to the one-and-only Santorini!

... of little alleyways again and you realized that you had come back to where you started. It was fun and we spent about 4 hours in there and then walked back to the ship. Had a late lunch on the ship and went to our cabin to have our afternoon siesta and watched Get Smart on tv. We decided to have a day off the grog so watched the ship leave from deck 7 and headed to the Casino for a short time and then came home.

... a magnificent bronze statue of Helios, a Greek God. It was one of the seven wonders of the Ancient world. The statue only stood for 56 years before an earthquake destroyed it in 226BC.

The medieval town of Rhodes has now been declared a world heritage site. And no wonder with its winding old lanes, ancient defensive walls and its beautiful clear sky and water. We couldn't have afforded a night here but we sure are glad we got to spend a day in this touristy little town.

August 28th - Rhodes, Greece

I awoke at half past three. We were docked at some large town - and had been for some time. Was this Rhodes ? I ran down to the lower deck looking for someone to ask, anyone. But the ship was deserted. I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror. I looked like the Wild man of Borneo, I thought. Eventually I found a man in a blue suit who dismissed my worries and told me to go back to sleep. I went back to my snug spot on the oily deck and dreamed I was ...
