Colossos Beach Hotel Faliraki

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.

... all we could of the castle, we ventured outside the walls to go check out some ancient ruins. On the map, there was a big green park with some old ruins labeled, and it didn't look too far away. What the map didn't show was that it was uphill, hard to find, and when we got there it wasn't a park at all, but just an ancient stadium and some old columns surrounded by ...

... 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.

... our day over it was time to catch our ferry to Athens. On our budget we chose the cheapest ticket available. Which means "Deck." But unfortunately for us what we didn't realise was that this means it is the only place on board were you can smoke. So the rest of the night with the lights on and us trying to get a nights sleep on our hard plastic benches, we breathed in the refreshing air of smoke. Shona has now got a smokers cough.

This is going to be a tough couple of days.

I already miss Mykonos.

Thursday, Sammy and I went to this very exclusive beach with our Canadian friends called psaru ( i know that's not how u spell it).

You couldn't even get a beach lounge if you paid them but was amazing to see, beautiful people and amazing bodies!

On the way we saw a bike accident and thought twice about if we wanted to get back on our bike. We did however go and get bike helmets.

Friday we started celebrating ...

Next we were onto Rhodes, one of the most historically significant Greek Isles. We saw the medieval old town, the Acropolis (yes, Rhodes has one too), and the site where the Colossus of Rhodes presumably stood in ancient times. We also got in a little beach time and visited a neat pottery factory.

... we walked around. Most of it was rocky, but some of it was very green and grassy. There were huge cannonballs everywhere just on the ground. Ashley and I found a passage way and followed it to the end. It was obviously a secret tunnel that one could escape through. Not sure if we were supposed to be there, but hey it wasn't blocked off. Felt like we went back in history, sneaking around in a small ...

... said.

Tomorrow we are taking the hydrofoil to Turkey and will attempt the arduous sixteen hour overnight bus ride to Istanbul. The ticket agent dismissed my suggestion that there may be beurocratic entanglements involve in crossing over. He did concede when I asked him directly that we would be subject to a ten dollar 'port tax' (Turkey tax?) for only going one way. My only hope is that it will be a straightforward crossing although, this being Greece, I'm sure it won't be.
