... houses, The Grand Masters Palace and a Museum and Art Gallery.... and lots and lots of stalls/shops. I was lucky that a large ship had brought in some tourists for the day so, by arrangement, a select number of shops and restaurants were open. Otherwise, it would have been all shut.

The next day I went to Lindos by bus (about an hour's trip) and everything there WAS closed.... except one coffee shop, one bar and one cafe. It was a delightful little ...

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.

it was my first time to Rhodes island!. thats new for me!! actually
only done a day excursion in 2007. so my flight from London Gatwick to
Rhodes was a late evening flight. I traveled with two of my friends Ben
and Neil!. but it was a late flight 22:50hrs Saturday 5th September .
the flight was good. we arrived in Greece at 5:30am Greek time. by the
time we got to our ...

... had it at a table with lovely american family. The lady used to be a librarian at Yale. Spent the whole time trying to convince me to do MLIS (Master's in Librarian Information Studies to become Librarian-haha don't think so). Very interesting people. Had a formal dinner that night with the tour on board ship. Went to Karoake afterwards-bit of a laugh.

... on. We stick to the inland roads, and there is one 10km stretch where we question the wisdom of continuing - its should be a sealed road, but they are obviously upgrading it (slowly) - the seal has been ripped up, bridges have been taken down and the road now fords across dry steam bead and its hardly better than a goat track in places! However it does make for interesting driving! We get higher and higher and finally end up back on a proper road, which winds its way around ...

Today we visited Rhodes. Our excursion was scenic Rhodes which involved a bus tour of parts of the island, a visit to the ancient city (ruins) of Kamiros, and we ended up in the Old Town, the original walled city. The ruins were very interesting. The Italians started the excavation and restoration in the early 20th century but not too much more has been done since Rhodes ...

... Evan and Mike- and Mike's cousin from home, who came to Rome for a few days and then went on our trip with us. Pretty good spring break for that guy. His name, by the way, is Andrew David Soliman (spelled with an "i" not "o") and he went by Andy. But I called him his full name all the time because it sounds like the most Jewish name ever and he is the exact opposite-a Coptic Christian. Anyway, back to the booking process. The thing was, we had only a certain window to book ...

... older than those in Corfu. This doesn't seem to deter them from wearing 'Hard Rock Cafe' tee shirts though. I realised that we were lucky to be staying within the walls of the old citadel. These tourists would certainly be staying at the large modern hotels I had seen along the northern shore.

Despite all of this, I couldn't help liking the place. The tourists were mostly American and British but there were also many French and Italians: their respective presence of numbers ...
