Rhodes, Greece

Well here we are back in Greece for the last time, it kind of feels like coming home since we have been in Greece so long. Rhodes city is very busy with a lot of traffic and noise but at least we have a nice room, with english TV and actually catch up on news and watch a movie. The old fort and old town here is quite impressive and large but of course full of shops and tavernas of all kinds along with thousands of cruise ship people. Tommorrow we will take a boat trip up to Lindos for the day and see the Acropolis. The day after we will head up to Faliraki for a day at the beach. Here are some pictures of the fort and the town of Rhodes.

Bye for now Don and Marlyn

Santorini, Greece

We took the ferry from Athens and arrived in Santirini on Monday afternoon. The room we booked was about as big as a closet and seemed like the middle of nowhere. We were actually just outsde Perissa, a nice little beach town with lots of cool bars and restaurants. In the pension we stayed at the front door got locked so when we got home at midnight we could not get into the house. Of course our phone was in the room so we could not phone the owner so Marlyn climbed in thru the bathroom window an dfor her efforts received a gigantic bruise on the back of her leg. We then moved into a place called "The Best" in Perissa just a block off of the back sand beach.
We rented a car and toured the island checking out Fira and Oia which are both spectacular, especially Oia which hangs right on the cliffs. The crowds are massive though with 4 cruise ships in port, somedays they get 8 ships in! We met some nice locals and some people from Norway and had lots fun. Friday we took the ferry to Naxos where we will spend a few days and explore. The old town where we are staying is built around the old fort and is like a maze, pretty cool though!
Pictures soon.
What happened to our football team????

Don + Marlyn!
