Rhodes,Greece

The mighty wall surrounding the "old town" of Rhodes Town.

Ashlei amongst evidence of history.

And we will rebuild, exceededing it's former glory tenfold! All hail, uh, Brian...?

And the Queen!

Our friends Luisa and Guido and their lovely hotel in the center of Rhodes Old Town.

Rhodes was a wonderful few days spent in an ancient city of winding roads and beautiful architecture. It was a place to relax and get lost : walking streets built long before the motor was a consideration and moats were a reality. Again we were in an area that once was the home of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world but sadly this one too is no more - the Collosus of Rhodes: a 30 + meter high statue. Alas, the fragility of human achievement made evident yet again...
We rented a car one day and drove down the eastern coast to visit the ruins of the Temple of Lindos, that you see above. The ruins were great but even if they weren't the views from on high were majestic and inspiring.
From here we took another boat to the sleepy island of Karpathos. More adventure on the high seas await!
