My Holiday from...not hell, but somewhere close.

Tuesday, August 21, 2007 7:00 PM

So I am back from Rhodes. Okay, I've been back almost a week, but you know, been keeping busy.

I have always loved Greece. I've been a lot in my short lifetime, once to Kos, twice to Crete, and now to Rhodes. And I've always loved it. The people are great, the food is perfection, and the weather is - admitedly, unsuitable for a girl who can burn and faint in a country currently half underwater, - but still, you know, pleasant.

So what went wrong in Rhodes?

Well, pretty much the apartments sucked. I can cope will dingy and basic, after all, my family are tight. We aren't looking for luxury.

But you know, a pool that isn't surrounded by a massive wall which blocks out the sunlight and is therefore freezing would be nice.

And if the snack bar served food, that would be great.

And if the rooms didn't lock you in when they felt like it. (Seriously, this little 5 year old girl got locked in, bless her. So did I, but you know, sympathy for kids.)

And you know, wire sticking out of bathroom wall. Not so good.

And if they insist that you put loo roll in the toilets, they could at least empty the bins at some point during the week.

Ach, I'm gonna stop complaining now, cos the fact is, all that wouldn't matter so much if it hadn't been for my brother moaning non stop the entire time. He complains that he's not getting enough sunbathinh done, WHILE throwing up from sunstroke.

He does my HEAD in.

Anyway, I'm back, and it really wasn't as bad as I'm making out. I'm just gonna be a but more wary getting last minute deals from now on. Up till now we;ve been lucky and found great places, but clearly that's not always gonna happen.

So, some photies. Enjoy!!
