Mykanos, Turkey Patmos and Rhodes.

Internet at last!!! There is internet on the boat but its very expensive and now I am getting fussy with internet costs. I am in a little internet cafe in Rodes (in the old walled city!!) where for the price of a coffee wifi is free!!!!

Mykanos

So much to catch up on my blog. The ship is not the best----typical Trafalgar!! But meals are OK and land tours are great so I just stay out of the cabin as much as possible----hard to swing the proverbial cat!!! So my first Island was beautiful Mykanos!! I loved this Island---walked to Venice Beach----where Shirley Valentine was filmed. We were in time for sunset which really was spectacular!!  I loved my time here wandering the tiny streets and lane ways. The colours are only white and blue so outside stairs and shutters are painted blue----so beautiful!!! I hope I get back here one day!!

Next we travelled to Turkey and spent a wonderful day here. David recommended Ephesus and many thanks Dave it was spectatular!! I thougt I had seen enough ruins to last a life time but this city really is quite amazing---just in its size. Streets and incredible library. Loved it thanks Dave. I would like to come back to Turkey and explore it one day with heaps more time!!

Patmos

Then we went to Patmos. Such an interesting island. This is where the apostle John was exiled and had his vision with the book of Revelation.We went to this Grotto and it was inspiring! Views in Patmos are beautiful---with all the islands in the distance. WE had a Greek night last night that was fun!! Greek dancing---even Zorba!!! It is very hot but ship has good air con!
