I WILL START THIS BLOGG BY SAYING SORRY FOR MY BAD SPELLING AND BAD ENGLISH. SOME IS BECAUSE I CAN'T SPELL AND SOME IS BECAUSE THE COMPUTER AUTO-CORECCT AND I DON'T SEE IT.
THURSDAY 25/8: Once again, it's time for me to go of to Rhodes on my own. Was looking forward to have a breakfast at the Airport with my husband, before security. But the coffeshop was closed due to sickness. So no breakfast....I landed a bit early on Diagoras but Pete was there to pick me up. Then we drev down to Lardos.
For the first time I will stay at Sunshine. The hotel across the street from Periklis. Here are som pictures from the hotel.

Present for son (not the roll-on, it's just there so you understand the sice of the knife)
And the gifts. Olives and oil from Lollo and Pete. Their own products.
Went to Periklis for dinner.
My first stop was Plimiri beach. It was here as Bella was born. There were like two beaches. One big and one small. This is the small.
Then I'm of to Prasonisis.
There were no wind today so no windsurfers in sight.
And after Prasonisi, I went to Apolakia beach. A beach were you can't bath. To current. But a nice beach with a lots of garbage laying around. Like this big thing from a ship!
What a view!
Next stop was St Nektarius Church. Just for the water and a visit in the little Church
I did not see my new friends this last night. Sorry.
To daughter Painting
I walked and walked and walked and got another blister on the other foot!
THURSDAY 1/9: Well well I had a good nights sleep and went with the bus 09.30 back home. Spend the rest of the day at the beach and ending the night at Popi's bar. I asked for a surpris dring. The bartender went out of the bar and started to pick some thing from the flowerbed. And then he made me a mojito made on basil instead of mint! It was so goooood!
Found my way to bed around 00.00
FRIDAY 2/9: Hurried down to the beach to get a sundbed among the pebbles instead of in the sand. Was planing to get my dinner at Perikis tonight but George wanted to celebrate my birthday, one day ahead, since it
was Colin-night tonight. So I changed my plans.
Had a good time and went to bed around 2 am.
Saturday 3/9: My birthday. Took an omelett for lunch and stayed on the beach until 16.30. Then home for a shower and to meet Lollo at 19. We went to Periklis for dinner. And of course, Ritsa had made a table for us.

The beach
The night I spent with newfound friends. We went to Pefkos because they all wanted to see the bar Eclipse. It was originally started by a member of Pink Floyd. Here are som pictures. They had a pool inside, or the inside was outside if you understand what I mean :)
The gang minus one
After a few hours we all went home again.

A new stairway for this year!
After dinner I went down to James to talk to Lollo. And suddenly I had rented a car for tomorrow! I got a nice roadmap from Lollo, with things to see.
THURDAY 6/9: My friend for today:
Here is Lothiarika from the road South
My first stop was Plimiri beach. It was here as Bella was born. There were like two beaches. One big and one small. This is the small.
And this is the bigger
The cafe at Plimiri
Then I'm of to Prasonisis.
There were no wind today so no windsurfers in sight.
Took a cup of coffe before I went back to my car
And in the car I took a banana and som rolls
Then off again
And after Prasonisi, I went to Apolakia beach. A beach were you can't bath. To current. But a nice beach with a lots of garbage laying around. Like this big thing from a ship!
After Apolakia beach I went to the village. It was so sad to see. Earlier this summer there had been a big fire here. They manage to rescue the houses but not the countryside.
It smelled fire. Not funny at all. But now I'm of to Limni beach! You get down from the parkinglot by the stairs. By the parking there was a shower and places to eat or drink what ever you brought with you.
Out in the water it was like rocks and you could climb on them.
After Limni the turn came to Monlitos Casle. High up in the Mountains! The road to the casle smelled of honey. I parked my car and started the walk up to the casle.
Funny rocks all over the Place!
Steep steps and slippery!
Almost there
What a view!
I took an icecream when I got down to the car again. Then of to Sianna!
Bought my honey and visited the Church. Then of again. This time to Embonas and then Epta Piges.I was not going to stop until I got to St Nektarius Church. But suddenly I had to stop the car and get out just to hear and see. It was so quiet and the air so clean!
Next stop was St Nektarius Church. Just for the water and a visit in the little Church
Home at the hotel by late afternoon. Went to the beach first. When I got home I had to rinse my ears from greek commercial radio. Started my Spootify and did'nt thing any one else was home. Then I heard English voices from the balcony one room away. I asked if they wanted me to turn the music down but no. So now I maid some new lovely friends from Scotland! Anne and Colin!
In the evening it was Greek Night and I was there of course. Sat with a young couple from Sweden. This little cat found the mans knee to be the best place!
Anyway, this man was brought up to the dancefloor and I moved on to another table. I just saw my scotish friends take a seat by a table. I sat down and after that the hours flew!
WENSDAY 7/9: The last day. Just stay in the sun all day. Got home in the late afternoon and then I saw them. Before I have just heard them! The goats! And the mountains I see from the balcony.
I did not see my new friends this last night. Sorry.
Thursday 8/9: Time to go home to Sweden. I took an early swim in the ocean and had my breakfast at James. Back at the hotel I met Anne and Colin. They had been on a boat trip yesterday and it was very very windy. So they got seasick. To bad. But I got Annes email och Facebook so we can keep in touch.
When I got home, it was time to unpack.....
