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!

... 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 ...

it was my first time to Rhodes island!. thats new for me!! actually<br>only done a day excursion in 2007. so my flight from London Gatwick to<br>Rhodes was a late evening flight. 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 ...

... y Bday. We went to this lovely beach during the day and then again with our Canadians went to this sunset party at a bar which was up the top of this hill ( and yes we had to hike up). It was amazing, the view was just beautiful and you watched as the sun set into the water. As soon as the sun went down there a drag show and go go boy dancing. It was so much fun, although I do think we were nearly the only girls up there ( real ones at least) they were all gay and ...

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 rooms. There were mosaics on the floor, beautiful art everywhere. Most of the furniture was gone, but there were some armor and candle holders and chairs. Downstairs in the castle was the museum which had all kinds of history and pieces from the castle. We enjoyed hanging out in the courtyard; it was so cool and breezy. Then we went to the moats. They were huge and just there for you to explore ...

... will stand. The difference between the two is that the churches are still functional and the mosques, on the whole, are falling to pieces. One mosque that we saw was being steadied by timber supports and, were it not for these, I think it would have fallen down. One gets the feeling that the Greeks would be quite happy to let it fall down, were it not for the city being declared a World Heritage Site. I bought a guidebook from a souvenir shop and of the Ottoman occupation it starts "The ...
