A Breezy Day on the Isle of Rhodes

Landed at 9:45 PM at the Rhodes Airport.  Four pieces of luggage were missing.  We flew on a small plane: capacity 29 of which 22 were our tour group. They simply ran out of space for all the bags. (They arrived around noon today.)  Fortunately the four of us had our bags.  Our group is really getting acquainted: offering help to those who need it, helping with luggage, etc. This morning we drove around Rhodes. Took us up to the Acropolis.  Saw the stadium and the odum.  The bus drove  the outer wall of the medieval city (Old Town) then let us off.  Alex guided us through Old Town which is a combination of restored buildings, souvenir shops, cafes, etc.  Enjoyed a wine tasting. Then set off on our own. Chuck and I got lost on the way back to the hotel. The new Celebrity cruise ship:  Equinox was in the harbor.  It holds 4500 passengers.  Also 3 other ships.  What a commotion!
