After saying goodbye to our friend Christina (the motherly looking woman on my left who got teary eyed when we said goodbye) and HOlly (the English singer who gave up her life and moved to Greece to be a singer), we headed to Rhodes Town, which is about an hour away from Lindos.
The first thing we did, was almost get run over while Jim posed above an ancient (and dry) moat and gazed with much fascination at some ancient cannonballs:
Fortunately, if we had been run over, it would have most likely been by a scooter or motor bike, so our chances were good.
Rhodes Town (at least OLD RHodes Town, which is the only part of Rhodes Town we visited) is much more ancient looking than Lindos was...and a lot bigger.
It also has a lot of stray dogs and cats. The cats weren't so healthy looking as the ones in Lindos. I'll spare the details, but we saw some pretty sad little cats. Here is Jim with the purple speckled dog (skin disease?) and some other dogs that we encountered around the city:
More pictures...some silly:
At the end of the day we packed into our rental car and headed to the airport..but, of course, we got hopelessly lost and there were many signs in Greek and I am a terrible navigator, so it was pretty stressful. Fortunately JIm has a good sense of direction so we finally made it...but because I'm sort of bad with military time, we were REALLY early (Jack would have been proud).
