Day VIII: Ancient Rhodes city:

Last day, because of our delay of the flight we got some extra hours. We want to stay close to the hotel and just take a new walk to old town.

Map over the eighth day walk:

(5 km walk in ancient Rhodes city.)

Rhodes city:

When we walked down to old town we passed this orchestra, don't know if they celebrated something special today. We enjoyed the musicians and stayed here a couples of minutes and listening.

Ancient Rhodes city, temple of Aphrodite:

The first thing we wanted to do was to examine the Temple of Aphrodite once again.

It's placed just inside the Liberty Gate. We try to figure out how all these stones were placed once. Do you think we have boring time? Oh no, this is exiting!

Lots of stones are missing and it's hard to imaging how it once looked.

The nearby ruin from behind.

West of the Liberty Gate there are some remains of an older defense wall.

Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights:

One more thing we had left in old city to do is a visit to the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights.

We are watched!

The palace is built in the 14th century.

After all ruins we had looked at it is interesting to see how the roof are constructed of these old buildings.

A temporary exhibition about pottery.

Behind the park we saw that there was a park with statues, we asked if there where any entrance to that park, but it was not open to the public.

After a long walk something to drink.

Gunilla bought a new backpack at this street.

Another ruin we had missed the earlier days.

At the map we have found something they call the Knights History, but we never found where it was, not here at least.

Time for us to get back to the square outside the palace where all the restaurants where.

A dinner and drawing plans what to do when waiting for our flight. It start 2 am, very early I will say.

We decided to go back to the hotel and get a rest and charge our mobile phones.

We leave the ancient city through the Gate D'Amboise.

Back to the hotel, we don't have any room now and take a rest in the foyer. At 11 pm we took the bus to the airport, we got a dinner at the airport while we waiting. We was back home in Stockholm about 6 am.

This week at Rhodes has been great, and maybe we come back in September or October and have a visit to the Astronomy Cafe, then we stay over night and try to take same astronomy photographs.
