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.<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

... 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 ...

... built in the 1300's we wanna stay. Foula's looking for a place for us! :) It's like something you would think Disney made but it's REAL!! We spent 2 days in Athens with Georgia in her apt. went on a day trip to Cape Sunyo. Spent yesterday on the beach. Back to the beach today not sure what we'll be doing the rest of the week. We decide when we wake up. Gotta go miss you all . More soon... :) will send pictures soon.<br>

... 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.

... a magnificent bronze statue of Helios, a Greek God. It was one of the seven wonders of the Ancient world. The statue only stood for 56 years before an earthquake destroyed it in 226BC. <br><br>The medieval town of Rhodes has now been declared a world heritage site. And no wonder with its winding old lanes, ancient defensive walls and its beautiful clear sky and water. We couldn't have afforded a night here but we sure are glad we got to spend a day in this touristy little town. <br><br ...

And we didin't!<br><br>I found out that life is very *************os. Partying during the night till the sun rises and going to the beach during the day.

... 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.<br>

... the main area alight was the mountainous area that I had taken the scooter over three days ago. Peoples' houses had been burned and some old folk had perished within. I was somewhat shocked to read this and remembered going through villages where the locals had all been stood worriedly looking at the smoke coming from Mount Pantokratora. I had assumed that it was a seasonal thing and therefore not much cause for concern. A state of emergency has been declared in northern Corfu, the ...
