We are now tied up alongside a wall in the "not yet
finished" marina in Rhodes. Again we motored all the way; there was wind, but it
was on the nose..!
It is very pleasant here, we have been here for four
days now. It took almost 24 hours to check in!
We have had a good look around the old town and visited
the museum. We also had a good look at Mandraki Harbour where many yachts go
when they visit Rhodes. But seeing how busy it is we were glad to be in the
marina even though it is a 20 min walk into town. Today we hired a car and drove
around the island seeing some of the places along the coast and inland. Lindos
was the highlight: a very pretty white village near a perfect bay with
impressive ruins on top of a hill. In the middle of the island are some wineries
so we ended up doing some wine tasting as well.
Tomorrow we'll walk back into town to get Greek sim
cards, which we failed to do sofar. Then we'll leave for the island of
Simi.
