After avoiding many storms the last few weeks while touring Greece, Mother Nature finally caught up with us. During the last few days we’ve seen some very violent storms here in Rhodes. It rained like it does in the Great Northwest😳
We did make the best of breaks in the weather and continued to explore this beautiful island. You can tell by our rental car…it’s very muddy from being on the roads of Greece 
It’s surprising how many forests are on the island and the size of the trees, considering how long mankind has inhabited Rhodes 
Ok, let’s drive around the entire island, 230 kilometers. This is Castle Kastelos
Skala Kamirou 
Apolakia
Castle Monolithos
Next day back to Old Town Rodos
It’s surprising how many Christmas displays we see. Homes are decorated with lights, trees and figurines
We talked about our Airbnb here, it’s over 120 years old. Here’s what the homes look like before and after remodeling 
Can’t leave Greece without mentioning the wonderful food,
Greek salad is a mainstay of Greek cuisine, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, red onions, salt, pepper, Greek oregano, feta, olives and olive oil, delicious and nutritious 👍😎
The Feta cheese is so smooth. From the feta they make cheese salad, Xtumntn unbelievably delicious. Tzatziki sauce from fresh Greek yogurt is also delicious 
The gyros so wonderful
But you know I had to make pizza, hand made dough, baked in a toaster oven
After five weeks in lovely Greece we are flying to Athens tomorrow, then on to Munich and Salzburg. It’s cold and snowing there😳
A few things about our time here about Greece.
The people were incredibly nice, the scenery wonderful, however, the economy is terrible. Over 70% of jobs are service related and when everything, and I mean everything, closes for the winter that’s tough.
Greek men love to sit in the Tavernas and drink coffee and smoke cigarettes, it’s the main form of Greek male recreation.
There must be over one million feral cats in Greece, (I’m not exaggerating). They are everywhere and they break your heart😳
On to the Deutschland, rested and ready to roll through the rest of Europe ✔️
Auf Wiedersehen
