Hello everyone. I hope you have had a good few weeks since we last met here.
Thank you for all your kind wishes while hubby and I were away on holiday. Your messages that D posted were very welcome and appreciated.
This holiday, we spent it in Rhodes, and it was much more relaxing than our last trip.
It was very hot during our stay, so we made the most of the hotel facilities and the sunny weather.
This photo made me smile as it's not often that you see an empty poolside like this. To be fair, this photo was taken after 6pm when the pool is closed. It was also the view from our balcony.
This was the other view from our balcony.
We took a stroll along the beach front and admired some of the harbour sights.
The hop-on/hop-off bus allowed us to see more of the island and enjoy better views from some of its higher points.
The beach across the road from the hotel was pebbly but the sea water was warm and inviting.
Mandraki harbour is the historic port where the legendary Colossus once stood. Today, two toering stone columns are topped with a stag and doe.
We also visited the Old Town of Rhodes and wandered around the cobbled streets. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has a wonderful mix of cultures: Byzantine, Crusader, Ottoman and Italian architecture.
Sitting in the hotel restaurant enjoying our meals each evening, we were treated to the most spectacular sunsets.
It was a wonderful, relaxed holiday that both hubby and I enjoyed, and when we finally arrived home and had some sleep, I ventured back into my garden to see how things had been growing. This is just a little of the food bounty I found.
Wherever you are, I hope you are well and that you will have a good week ahead.
Take care x
