Island hopping

---

At 8 we meet a bus for the harbour of Rodos. Here we get on the 2 hour ferry to the Dodecanese island, Symi. First stop, for a look around is at Panormitis. Their museum here indicates the significance of their resistance to the Nazi regime during WW2. It's in a beautiful enclosed and protected harbour. We leave at midday for the main harbour of Symi in the north east of the island. This whole area is yachting heaven - and some mouth-watering craft sit in the harbour to watch. There are yachts going in all directions, to Turkey, along the coast and other islands. Coming home a German lady gives us her spare map of Symi which is fascinating. I would definitely want a GPS around here. The sun's direction as we leave the harbour is so confusing against the map and other land-forms. I think I've almost decided that in Greece the sun sets in the east... The trip gets us back in Rhodes around 6pm
