I have to say that by far, Rhodes was one of my favorite stops! This city had European charm (the crusaders built a massive fort here) and old Greek romance. Chad and I went on a tour of Lindos, a town with an ancient acropolis sitting atop it. We were able to tour the acropolis at our leisure and even ride a donkey if we wanted (we did not). On the way up to the town I heard a noise and looked quickly to my right....as I did I walked right into this pole that went a bit higher than my knee and had a spike sticking out of it. Needless to say I had an instant headache and the biggest and ugliest bruise you have ever seen...it was bigger than my thumb and all sorts of purple, green, yellow, blue and black. Lovely....no more shorts for me on the trip otherwise you would have everybody staring at the bruise on your legs!! We had alot of fun and on the way back out our bus overheated and we got to drive slowly over windy roads with no air (and it was pretty muggy) not too good for a girl who gets car sick super easy!! We enjoyed Rhodes alot and hope to go back one day!!
