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.<br><br>I am going to upload a couple of pics from yesterday on Myconos to give you an idea of the beauty here.<br><br>Davo and Janet

... But they were our first ruins, so we enjoyed them anyway. The best part about the area was that we were all the way on top of the island, and could see for miles down the coast in either direction. <br>We zig-zagged our way down the hill and back into town, rewarded ourselves with a glass of wine at a local cafe. We were excited to try our first greek restaurant, and even ...

What a difference a day makes. This place is absolutely beautiful. There are still lots of walls and castles that have been here for thousands of years, but it is nice and clean and friendly. We walked into the walled city and saw heaps more shops with locally made things and also lots of touristy rubbish, but no-one was hassling us to buy and we could just wander around looking and not fighting people off ...

After a quick breakfast, we headed off to the port to catch our 9am ferry to Rhodes, but it looked like everyone else in Fethiye had the same idea. The boat was full of those annoying package holiday makers on a day trip to Rhodes. <br><br>After a rough ride, we bought our tickets to Athens (Rhodes to Athens &#8364;53 each, one way) and had the whole day to spend in Rhodes before our next ferry departed. <br><br>Rhodes was famous worldwide in the ancient world for the Colossus of Rhodes ...

I traveled with two of my friends Ben<br>and Neil!. but it was a late flight 22:50hrs Saturday 5th September .<br>the flight was good. we arrived in Greece at 5:30am Greek time. by the<br>time we got to our ...

... are made more narrow by the restaurants and shops extending their offerings out into the road way and the gaps down the middle are filled with tourists. That doesn't stop the motor scooters, and even the odd car (with lots of scrape marks) forging their way through. Its hot and surprisingly (given we're right on the waterfront) muggy. The old buildings are truly remarkable though. Heavily restored over the years, they mostly date back originally to the middle ages and are ...

... I have a couple of days to catch up on with this blog. Not sure I have the energy to do it tonight, plus it's like 11pm and everyone has already gone out and I need to catch a cab to meet them. Early flight to ITALY tomorrow, can hardly wait.

... game in the library, and gave it a try, but realized that it was a British edition and most of the questions were things only Brits would know. The British group sitting next to us knew way more of the answers than we did, and eventually we gave up and went back to the normal version. It was a fun day, with great weather and an amazing city. Tomorrow we stop at the very much Mediterranean island of Cyprus.

... the early one- the other was at 9pm) because we didn't have a choice, and so we tried to change it but couldn't for that first night. So we ate dinner at 7 and the next night and every night after we had 9pm dinner, which was much much better. That first night we checked out the nightlife on the boat and had a very good time. Come to think of it, we had a good time every night. Molto fun. Day 2 (Bari). We got to sleep in and then explored the wonderful (just kidding) city of Bar ...

... for "authentic Greece" that they will never be far away from the same facilities that they are used to back home and boastingly adds that "some 150 night clubs have been built in the last ten years alone". For those nice souls who enjoy killing animals whilst on holiday it claims that Rhodes is a "hunters paradise" and lists species that are perennial favourites before regretfully adding that some of these have become threatened and that if you want to hunt them you will need a licence ...
