Rhodes Trip

Yay! I survived a week without wifi! I don't know how I did, but somehow, I managed. So, I've been on holiday for a little while, hence why there has been no blog posts for almost two weeks. Last night I got back from a trip to Rhodes with my family at 2am (which was actually 4am in Rhodes so I was extremely tired!)

Rhodes was a BEAUTIFUL place - very warm until it rained the last couple of days we were there which wasn't so good. But being typical Brits, we tried to soak up every bit of sun even as the rain poured down on our faces. One evening I watched as lightning struck every ten minutes continuously.

Most of the people were very friendly. We had fun with Michaelas one of the barmen. We stayed in Electra Palace an all-inclusive hotel right beside the sea. During the day there were many activities including volleyball, darts, aqua zumba, waterpolo, ping pong. Every night there was entertainment: Greek night, music of the world, magic, discos, jazz and rock night. You couldn't get bored. The food there was very yummy and wide-ranging. I spent most of my time drinking hot chocolate (even though I don't actually eat chocolate) because there was no drinks I liked. But I do feel like I've put on a lot of weight due to the all-inclusive buffet. But that's what happens on holiday I guess...

We also went to Rhodes Town. It was a historic place with a great atmosphere and sights. There were a lot of beggars there dressed all in white. In the center of the town it was very busy and I would have loved to see it at night when it's even more busy and lively. As someone who loves Greek mythology, the area made me feel like I was closer to the stories I love. I wished we had had more time to visit some other places, like Lindos which looks amazingly beautiful. But we were mainly soaking up the sun and enjoying the views. My sister and I had a lot of fun pulling pranks on Mitchell, our step brother, in our hotel suite. 

I love relaxing. I love not worrying about things. Most of the time I was there I was lounging about on the sun beds with a book, or taking an afternoon nap because my dad insisted that we all be down eating breakfast at 8.30 every morning, or writing - lots and lots of writing. 

I'd also suggest never traveling home on a Wednesday night in Greece. The airport was packed with sweaty people all hustling about to check their bags in. Luckily we had VIP tickets and went straight past to the lounge area which meant we didn't have to wait in those awful queues.   


I'd definitely go back to Rhodes and make sure to go to Lindos, just not in September when the weather is a bit up and down.

Below are a few of the pictures I took when we were there.
