Hotel Matina 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.<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 ...

Hi Everybody !- We are having a great time! So far EVERYTHING has been perfect flights weather people food!!! The food is beyond wonderful!!! I told Phil I've never seen blue or tasted tomatoes before this trip. The water here is mesmerizing. I can't even read a book I just stare at the sea!! I'm so glad I've been able to meet Georgia she's wonderful and also Foula also she's so sweet!!! We're staying in the Old City in ...

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 ...

... 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.

I already miss Mykonos. <br><br>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). <br><br>You couldn't even get a beach lounge if you paid them but was amazing to see, beautiful people and amazing bodies!<br><br>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. <br><br>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.<br>

... other side. The water is waist deep and freezing cold! I debated for a bit whether to cross, I had my camera and everything with me. Lots of people were doing it though, and weren't falling in so I figured I would be fine. The gorge extends up about 300m on either side, and you can walk for about 6km of it. Most people only do a few hundred metres and then turn back, though it's not difficult. Alll along ...

... into me one after the other, filming every moment and apologising to the cobbled path.<br><br>But it was easy to escape these tedious scenes. All one had to do was dart into an alley and one was back in the world of Greeks sitting on doorsteps idly flicking worry beads. To say 'Kalimera' to them was to receive a bright smile in recognition and a reply. Previously the majority of Greeks in lowland Corfu and Athens had been disinterested or even downright mocking of our attempts to ...
