Sarah and Mario came out to Rhodes last Wednesday. The weather was a bit
breezy so we stayed in Rhodes and explored to castle walls, museums and
tavernas of the Old Town. They have been bravely trying to teach me how to
play the ukulele. Sarah is a certified Official World Record Holder for
ukulele playing (along with 851 others players).
On Sunday we set off from Rhodes to go to the island of Symi where we
anchored overnight in a little one-taverna, multi-goat bay called
Marathounda. On Monday we hopped across to the island of Tilos mooring in
the harbour of Livadihou. The odd Harbour-mistress there nearly turned us
away for having too many jerry cans of fuel on deck. That would have been a
first. Apart from that Tilos is nice place with a useful mix of butchers,
bakers, flip-flop shops etc. We had a good barracuda-like fish in a
restaurant up the hill, off the tourist trail.
Today we are going to the island of Nisseros to gawp at its volcano.
