Africa Wild

BC, my SO would probably do that!! He will do short domestic flights if he has to, but he goes into panic mode!!

what bothers me, is that I am not comfortable in the seats, you never know who is going to sit next to you, I cannot open the windows and last but not least the toilets and I hate airports!

Short trips do not bother me.

Not the most comfortable form of transport but as you say, if you want to see the world.....

Some more beautiful pics with a pretty Saint Lisbeth in the one

Those old buildings are really magnificent. The stone work is a real work of art - and love

Interesting TT

Pumbaa, RP, Bushcraft, Flutterby, Toko and Pooky for resisting and even liking some of the sights

On the contrary to my ways of thinking, I always wonder how come that most only like the things that they know ....also inside SA.

Kruger visitors seldom look at a TT from KTP or Addo etc. Of course I am generalizing if not I cannot make a point. It is a fact though Is it lack of curiosity?

I have been wondering about this for a long time, I only thought that I might offend someone, but not many are reading here, so I am daring
It is exclusively an intellectual curiosity and you might be wondering the same way that I do or not having noticed.

Next up: "A train trip"

Perhaps when it come to KTP, the die-hard Kruger fans might not be interested or perhaps think they have seen it all already.

The Medieval town excluded, we had not seen very much of the town of Rhodes and as I cannot walk for hours we decided to take the train



First the beautiful harbour. I love the two antelopes on top of the columns





And the tourist harbour always with a Cruise Ship. How anybody can spent their holidays on those floating hotels with thousands of people, I have never understood. To each his/her own. This one is a small one and looks quite pleasant. Most likely with luxury prices.
Nice walk with the harbour on one side and the ancient walls on the other





Nice yachts. That’s another story. I would not mind an Island hopping with one of those

The train continues its ride



Ancient amphitheater called after Melina Mercouri and used for special performances in the tourist season.



The Stadium



The Acropolis of Rhodes is an acropolis dating from the Classical Greek period (5th–3rd century BC) 3 kilometers from the centre of Rhodes, in the island with the same name.
The partially reconstructed part of the site consists of the "Temple of Apollo" (also, as alternatives Athena Polias and ZeusPolieus) below which is a stadium and a small theatre. It is included in a large park, Monte Smith, named for English Napoleonic admiral William Sidney Smith.



View from the coast road of the town of Rhodes





One of the many beaches

Wildlife far far away and don’t ask me an ID



Almost end station. The Cathedral



End station with announcement: "It is allowed to tip the driver, who is also the tourist guide"



Strangely enough I did not take any pics of the town itself apart from the harbour. Maybe because the train was on the run and all would have been shaken. There were a few houses in typical Rhodian style, but nothing special.
I’ll add some pics that we took on the last day

Typical orthodox church





The Cuckoo bar & restaurant





Would you have guessed that on Rhodes they make a very nice tasty wine wine? I can assure you that it is so

Next day we are going to the beach...... finally!

It is clear that they are not interested if they don't read a TT. My question is, WHY are they not interested to see something new and different and that they might like, if they try?
