Dusk in Crete
We left Sitia at 6am (yawn).

Why don't we do it in the Rhode

Now in Rhodes Town, got there by ferry last night. I never knew about this place - it is bloody great! In case you have never seen it, it is an ancient port town with a walled city and lots of winding streets, etc. It is in great nick, though I would compare the ambience to Florence and it pisses all over York. In the new town, there are the usual touristy bars, which actually made a change and I was able to sup some CIDER, gas with some Brits and get off me tits.

Today was "history day" (that's you, that is), so I walked around the walls and visited the palace of the Grand Masters (Sugar - Caine, B-B-Baby). History is great, but museums can sometimes be crap. This one does not get filed under "crap". Recommended.

I also did the usual tour of the marina to see if I could scrounge a lift to Kos. There was only one British red ensign and it belonged to a beast of a superyacht with full time crew staffing it. I asked if they needed any crew and the snotty bird said

All aboard Mr Orion
My unfortunate shipmates + skipper

(1) I wouldn't be able to resist "accidentally" calling him "Ringo" all of the time. (2) I would tell him that Wings were crap. (3) [One for my Dad] I would nag and nag and nag him until he finally agreed to sing "Yesterday". (4)I might hum John Lennon songs all day. (5) I would insist that he agreed that Oasis are crap.

Yannis
This guy was very proud of his oven and smelled of goat. Top dude - he gave us loads of figs and almonds from his garden.

Old Trafford
This guy reckoned that he is the Man U mascot, so I chanted : "We hate Man U and we Hate Man U........we are the Man U haters". He didn't hit me.

Rhodes at dawn
One advantage of going on the lash until 6am is that you can get some top pics
