Melenos Hotel Lindos, Yades

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'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 ...

... i en form for ytring blant grekerene si "ELA". Jeg aner ikke hva ordet betyr, men at det er viktig i den daglige samtalen, det vet jeg. Ellers kan du også si parakalo (uttales:para-ka-lå), som betyr vær så snill eller noe i den duren. Nå har jeg åpnet den greske porten for deg, så nå har du alle muligheter til å opptre som en innfødt i dette hærlige riket. Følg med i morgen...latmannsliv på stranda.

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>

... said.<br><br>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. <br>
