So I have decided I would like to be a princess. And live in the city of Rhodes. Rhodes is the largest Greek island of the dodacanese group, and it is famed for perpetual sunlight. True to it's rep, the weather was fantastic. Rhodes is particularly known for it's old town, called Rhodes town. It's a medieval village with a fortified stone wall and a moat. The streets are ancient and cobblestoned and the buildings were absolutely adorable. It's an amazing town.. ...

Nights are very interesting affairs in our part of the cruiseship. After loading us up with plates of food, many of us happily submit to sleep. Notice the 'most'. It seems that all of those that do not like 'most's live in our part of the ship. We have been going to bed early lately. Like real early. Like before 9pm.

When we were waiting to disembark, we overheard a family talking about taking a taxi to the top of the highest hill where there is a monastery hangi...

I can totally get how people get fat on cruises. It's just too easy.. There is amazing food just a few paces away from you at all times. Each meal is accompanied by a whole separate table of various desserts. All you have to do between stops is sit in the sun, read, and listen to music. Quite the life. Except I did manage to get a burn on my chest. Not so good. Our room is little but comfortable. We where hardly in it at all anyway. So first stop was the islan...
