Mini golf

The worst mini golf ever....

Mini golf at the Olympus Hotel for 10 - girls v boys.  Arrived T 10:00pm with an hour to complete 18 holes. The course was crazy hard as the surface was wooden and the ball wouldn't stop rolling!


Still, we enjoyed ourselves - if frustration is enjoyable!!



A day at the water park

A day for all of us at the Water Park this Wednesday.  

Cam cut his toe but other than that it was a great day.

A day in Rhodes Town

Jon had a brilliant idea - he and I go to Rodos for the day together, Cam and Clar opted to stay by the pool. 

Lovely time. 

Rhodes Town is soooo pretty



An evening in Rhodes town

Went to Rodos to try and find somewhere that the football lovers could watch the first games of the new season. 

Got to Rhodes about 16:54 and Karen, Clara and I went to look round the town while the rest went to find a sports bar - they failed unfortunately.  

Lovely evening in a beautiful town with a nice meal on the roof watching the sunset 


The restaurant owner also had some parrots. Why not??!!

Jet skiing

Cam and Megan had a go at jet skiing today. €35 for 15 minutes. 

They had to be 18 - although that seemed to be a bit of a guideline and when they confirmed they could swim a bit and signed a disclaimer they were shown the start button and off they went!


They LOVED IT. 


They want to go again when the Martins arrive next week. 






Rhodes Town

Another pool day.  Lots of swimming in the sea and the pool. 

We got a bus (not sure the driver had been given a copy of the timetable) and had a drink before wandering along the harbour looking in envy at the Yachts. 



Very beautiful. We're going back for a proper look round in the evening. 


Rhodes - day 1

You need to get up VERY early to get a sunbed in this place!

We had a table and some chairs by the pool which was fine.  Nice food, lovely setting right by the sea and a good bar. 


Off to Rhodes

We were picked up by taxi at 15:30 to get to Gatwick airport in time to have some dinner with the Smiths and get our Thompson flight at 19:55 to Rhodes. 



Four hours later we landed in Rhodes, collected our bags and waited for our taxi to take us to Avra Beach Resort. We were very quickly checked in and given our keys to rooms 704 (us) and 703 (the smiths) and off to bed.
