Early rise to be at the ferrydock at 8am. Taksi came on time and met us at the end of Alpha pier. Ferry ride was mundane for us but lots of others were not as lucky. Saw lots of sea sickness bags getting distributed.
Easy customs clearance. Asked about where our hotel was and it was in the old town of rhodes. It was sort of within walking distance,that and taxis were not allowed in the old town during the day. So a hike it was going to be with a less than spectacular google map print out.
Asked a couple of people, made a few wrong turns and still almost walked past it. Old town Rhodes is a city within a wall with cobblestone streets and stone walkways. Some girls were somehow making high heels work. Our room wasn’t ready but we could leave our bags there and off to find lunch.
Really cool town lots of alleyways but they were all tourist shops and some bar restaurants. We walked all over the place. Then our room was available so we went to put our bags in the room.
Room that word does not define an space that small. Two single beds and a cot and a bathroom with which is smaller than the one on the boat. We can make due and it is right in the middle of the town. There two cruiseships also in port so that probably explains a lot of the crowd.
