Rhodes ...

... islans, much to the contrast of Rhodes. This island. the name I am sure has long ago escaped me, but I believe it sounded like "spetsay" After arriving at the dock and dienbarging the flying dolphine we had few options. walk, run, or pay to ride in th eack of a horse and buggy; i chose the later. I did not learn of our other option, the moped for a few more days. It was a quaint, perfect island. I tasted sea urchen for the first time and after being an ...

... Rhodes. The island of Rhodes (Rhodes city is on the northernmost tip) is at the crossroads between Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and because of its position in major sea routes, is rich in history. It has four harbours! - and has been inhabited since 4000BC.

The taxi driver told me that most of the tourist places on the island were closed from the end of the September till next May, and indeed they were - he pointed out all the buildings in ...

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.

... 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.
Now we're off to the one-and-only Santorini!

... 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.

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 ...

... var det Varg Veum? Jeg blander mellom de to skikkelsene. Deretter bader jeg en stakket stund før vi går til lunsj på resort taverna'n "La Tasca". Anja bestiller en spagetti bolognese mens jeg tar en Gyros Pitta meny. Æsj, parmasan ost lukter oppkast. "Få den vekk!". Ved lunsjbordet kan vi se at en skokk med nye nisser har ankommet Sunwing Resorten. Det er en ungdomsgjeng på 30-40 svensker? Det ser så jævla kårni ut, når det ...

... Desperate for a shower, we rapped loudly on a door that was the one, in our opinion, most likely to contain the proprietor. We guessed that he was likely to be called Billy. After all the pension is called 'Billy's Pansion'.

After a few knocks we heard the sound a baby crying. Then a female voice and a male voice whispering urgently. Hoiking and spitting noises ensued and presently the door opened and a tattooed young man stared at us with bleary eyes. He said his name was ...
