Rhodos Island in Greece

October 18, 2007

We went by bus from Pamukkale to Marmaris on the Mediteranean coast. This city has the largest mariner in Turkey, and it is a huge harbour with miles of beach. It was interesting to see so many moslem girls sunbaking topless but of course being good moslems they had their head well covered!!! And the miles of restaurants reminded us of Koh Chang in Thailand with its beach restaurants. We stayed in a motel and were the only guests as this is no longer the summer holidays. Our ninety days allowed by our visas were up on the nineth of October so we caught a ferry to Rhodos.

We found an appartment costing 300 Euro per month, that is about A$480.00  per month. And now I have access to my wordpress web page. This island is called the island of the sun and the days are warm and sunny.
