Even though, this was a third stop in Rhodes for me and a second time for Jim, we saw some of the island that we had never visited. We toured for about 2 hours and visited the medieval castle that had been entirely reconstructed by Mussolini as a summer home. Interesting to see what Fascism could achieve in about three years with slave Greek labor.
The remainder of our visit was to sit in a taverna in the busy marketplace and watch the crowds go by. Blue skies, blue sea, beautiful sunshine, just what a day in the Greek Isles should be.
Another dream come true...to see the tombs of the pharaohs. For over a month, we will explore the ancient wonders of western civilization from Egypt to Britain. We will fly to Cairo and on to Luxor, then we will board Regent Voyager in Safaga, Egypt to sail on to Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and England.
