Friday May 29
After a good breakfast went exploring the Medieval Town (from the 1300s) together with a few thousand cruise ship visitors. Had 3 ships n town today, European ships so a lot of Italian, German and French.
First evening out Thursday - German spoken here! Not many Germans left in Germany they are all here and drinking German beer.
Not us, we went to a nice place next to our hotel and had a great meal outside on the terrace with the local beer.
Met two Finns that own a house on a neighbor island and are for two nights in our hotel in town.
Will explore the old town today - many (too many) restaurants and shops. Prices are about double here (The EURO!) from Istanbul but if you stay away from the restaurants with the "Greeters" that try to get you in you are OK. 30 Euros for our dinner with 3 beers last night.

Arrived in Rhodes, Greece this afternoon Thursday May 28.It is very warm here, in the high 80s.
Had two flights, one from Istanbul to Athens then a 5 hour layover and with Olympic Airlines to Rhodes (1 hour flight).
Hotel is in a great location, right in the middle of the Old Town.
Room is small (as expected) but has great air conditioning and a window to open, shower and a computer with free Internet access.
