Thursday 31 August 2017


Oops! It appears 5 days have vanished! We left Athens and back up to Kotor, so not much new there, wandered round town looking for a shop that was selling a particular bag as a present. Just as we were about to give up there it was.

This is the view from the lighter used to transport us to the shore - the ship is in the background:



This is part of the wall around Kotor:

Again we tried to get to Mykonos, but again, too windy. So days at sea spent reading and relaxing.
A few gym sessions, in which motivation was noticeable by it's absence.
Food is a problem.  Just too many choices and all yummy. Evening meal is a 5 course feast.  Some of us are buckling at the knees for some reason.
I actually missed out the shrimp cocktail!  Talking now with Mike and Chris at the cafe sokrates.

Rhodes:

We found this to be the nicest of all the stops.  A short walk off the boat and into the old town which had quite a lot of character.

The old castle was due a look, which had been turned into a museum.
Reasonably interesting to look around, but you have to bear in mind most of what you see is mostly recent renovations, but nicely done.






Stopped in at a very nice garden cafe for a drink.  Cafe Socrates if you are ever there. Here it is:



 Chios:

Not as nice as Rhodes - just more shops as usual:
