Rhodes

Before we came to England we took a holiday with the Gershenzons, a family that also lives on the Park Platz(Julia, Camille, Kim and Jonathon), to Greece for a little over a week.  First we spent a few days in Athens (which Logan’s writing about).  Then we flew to the island Rhodes.  There we stayed at a resort called the Lindos Princess.

In Greece cats and dogs are pretty much treated as wild animals, and one cat (we called him Christopher), would stop by our room every day.
 
For breakfast, lunch and dinner there was a huge buffet to eat at (much to Logan’s delight), and they required the guests to dress sort of formally, especially for dinner.
 
Also, every night their would be some sort of entertainment, either a play put on by the staff members, or music and dancing at one of the bars.
There were three outside pools at the resort, but they were all even colder than the ocean.  Luckily there was also a indoor pool that was heated.  Other than that we hung out at the beach, played ping pong, pool, vollyball, and there was also soccer for Papa, zumba, water arobics, basketball, tennis, mini golf, water polo, and many other activities.  Sometimes we also just hung out in our hotel room.
 
 
 


 
 
One of the days Julia, Papa, Jonathon and I went on something called the crazy couch, which is a big blown up couch thingy that gets pulled by a boat, and was really awesome!
 
Another day we rented kayaks and peddle boats and explored a little rocky point.

 
We also rented cars one day and went to visit a little Greek town, saw an old olive press, and then to another beach.
 
 
Another time we took a bus to see the Lindos Acropolis, and Julia and I rode donkeys up to it.
 
At one point our donkeys escaped the guide, started running, and mine attempted to pass Julia’s in a very, very small alley way.  Anyway, once at the top, the view was quite impressive.
 
 
 
Then we walked to the square, ate ice cream, and caught the bus back to the resort.

It turned out to be a truly awesome trip!
