... to the mud baths and I was abandoned for an hour to go and explore.<br> <br> <br><br>You had to pay to enter the mud baths, even if you didn't go in and I have to admit (at the risk of sounding a snob - after visiting the blue lagoon (Iceland) there was no way I getting in the water/mud here!! It was hard to distinguish where the actual 'natural healing' spring started and where it was ...

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

... 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. <br>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.

... 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. <br><br>This is going to be a tough couple of days.

... tour to an island that will most likely also have undergone a similar transition.<br><br>Does this actually benefit the area? I have to assume that it does, that the number of tourists who travel through from cruise liners and package holidays enjoy the ability to simply relax away from home, thus bringing in vital income to the area. But I hope that areas that cater to the travellers market (for people like myself) is not ignored as ...

13.04.09 Up early 6am and off to brekie, met for jeep tour in Zebra Lounge at 7.45am. Allocated a jeep and climbed aboard with a couple in their 70's from Tauranga and a couple from London. Our driver was a female and native from Marmaris. The conroy was Off through the township of Marmaris up into the hillside through a forest and a few streams. We had to make running repairs as our jeep was making a hideous rattling noise, pipes knocking apparently. Saw a ...

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.<br>

... finished a protracted exchange with an American couple who had wanted to pay in US dollars to enter. The museum is a large building that had been used as an armoury by the Turks and later as a hospital. It is grand without being too ornate and contains shady arcades on several levels where propped-up remnants of classical civilisations lie in repose, none of them labelled. Roman mosaics cover the floor of a courtyard and cool stone rooms contain a multitude of fully reconstructed ...
