Rhodes, Greece



Enjoying the view as Dave & I walk back to the ship



It is 6:30 pm and we have just left the stunningly beautiful Greek Island. Known for its sandy beaches and 300+ days of sunshine each year, Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands.
Many in the group took the scenic island tour to see Lindos and had lunch (with wine) on the mountaintop.
Or we ran into several exploring the archaeological treasures of medieval Old Town which once held the famous Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Nothings remains of the bronze statue, but the medieval city walls are remarkably intact.
Either excursion made for a spectacular day, due to a cloud-less perfect blue sky.
Back on ship I expect to see many at the Ice Show; yes the ship has a rink, taking in the magnificent art collection, or even WINNING a few bucks in the casino. One of the highlights will be the Love & Marriage show tonight.
Tomorrow we make our stop in Kusudasi,Turkey for the full or half day excursions to ancient Ephesus.
We thank you all for following the blog, your comments and wishing all the ladies HAPPY MOTHERS DAY tomorrow!!!
