14 November - Rhodes

In Rhodes the ship docks right beside the old city, and we decided that we would just walk off the ship and have a look around.  The main thing I wanted to see was the Archaeological Museum, which we managed to find without too much trouble.  It was really impressive - a lot of displays in a building which is itself quite old and majestic.
Unfortunately Paul was taken ill by the time we finished looking around the museum; not sure if it's something he ate or if he was suffering from "land sickness". Although I've never known Paul to get seasick, the really rough journey across from Naples to Santorini had him taking seasickness tablets for the first time, and it's quite possible that this is a hangover from that rough ride. Anyway, as I'm writing this, Paul is hopefully sleeping off whatever ails him.
Next stop - well, not really a stop - is the long-awaited trip through the Suez Canal
