The next few blogs are of separate trips that we did: Sue to Rhodes in the Greek Isles (on her list of "must-do's!" for many, many years) and The Hague in the Netherlands (something she didn't DARE hope she could one day do), and John to Istanbul and Gallipoli in Turkey, a place I have always wanted to visit to acknowlege the great sacrifice given by so many there.

We both flew out from London Heathrow and the 16th of November and returned to ...

... entered a cavernous room with vaulted ceiling which must having been a main communal area. The floors were devoid of any intrusions so the bareness gave full impact to the size of the room but once your eyes adjusted to the light you could see headstones resting gently against the walls...they belonged to the knights. We read the headstone of an English knight.

As we went out on the verandah we spied another corridor and followed it through to a veritable oasis ...

I was really overdue my holidays, finally getting to take it in October and I just signed up to two weeks of not doing much in Turkey with a couple of friends in a group. For me though not doing much isn't my cup of tea so I took every chance to re-live my old Turkey memories, from food, sights, sea, dancing and ahem, yes the men, again :)

Please come back soon as I update all the stories from the two weeks. Thanks.

... them with sprite and it made a delicious concoction. We made our way to "bar street" and soon realized the door *****s were much more intense than those on Ios. At one point they had me corned on all sides shouting their drink deals at me. We settled on the bars with the cheapest drinks (and probably that same grain alcohol that made Sarah hallucinate) it soon became clear that we were the oldest by a good 5 years. The average age of all the other bar goers was 15-16. We ...

Old Town Rhodes has a medieval feel about it that makes it look much different than the other islands we visited. The Knights of St. John built the walled fortress in 1309 AD and its cobbled streets wander about, being full-fledged bazaars now, narrow alleys a little further on. The dominant feature, other than the actual walls, is the Palace of the Grand Masters that was the hub of the fortress. The Palace is really quite marvelous with much use of marble ...

... butikker for enhver smak. Men vi rekker kun å kjøpe noen småsmykker og en veske til kameraet mitt. Jeg har fått magekramper. Det er vondt det. Jeg har det ganske ofte og det kan dukke opp når som helst. Så har jeg også Crohns, så vet du det! Da er det bare en ting å gjøre. Finne en taxi og færa tilbake til bunkern vår på resårten. Slik avsluttes nok en hærlig dag her i himmelskjønne Rhodos. Les i morgen...badesesongen avsluttes. Feriens "grand finale".

... loads of people enjoying the sun and lots of racquet games taking place. I can now understand the pull of Brighton and Bondi for our Aussie Greeks; this place is an odd mix of home. We will head into the Old Town later for dinner. The boys are back from their swim so, time to change and head into the Old Town for dinner; more later. Wednesday 20th June Dinner last night proved to be an expensive outing. A stroll along the shops lining the narrow lanes in the Old ...

... led us past freshly painted abodes and blossoming bourgainvillae. Yawning cats, healthy-looking after Corfu and Athens, sunned themselves and licked their fur. The light was clear and sharp and the banishment of motor vehicles gave the place a tranquility we had been missing so far on our journey. We came upon a square with a fountain in the shape of three sea-horses. A cafe was open and a few people were sat outside it sipping coffee and eating toast. We decided to join them.
