Lindos Sun Hotel

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.

... 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.
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'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 ...

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.

After a rough ride, we bought our tickets to Athens (Rhodes to Athens €53 each, one way) and had the whole day to spend in Rhodes before our next ferry departed.

Rhodes was famous worldwide in the ancient world for the Colossus of Rhodes ...

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 ...

... er det viktig å kunne nøkkelfrasene i det greske språket. Siden du mest sannsynelig ikke kan dem, skal jeg nå røpe hemmeligheten som de har klart å bevare uforstyrret i snart 4000 år. Det er alltid viktig å stå ute i gata og skrike : "JANNI" (Uttales: DJA-NHI). Jeg tror alle mannelige grekere heter Janni. Den feminine versjonen av Janni er Maria. (Uttales:Mah'ria). Dessuten bør man i samtale ...

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.

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.
