A Day in the Town of Kos
The Castle of Joanites (The Castle of the Knights of Saint John)
OK, some more ruins: But, this was supposed to be a history lesson after all 😉 (really?!), but this time, from the outside, and I see a bench there! Finally, respite!

Steps, and then some. And it was 38 degrees Celsius outside!

Some horse, without a head (usually it’s the chicken, right?)

Seat Sunday in Kos Island
“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?” Albert Einstein
Afternoon Snack
A warm afternoon
Finding a seat,
Before I swoon
Feeling quite beat
Needed a drink
When I noticed the pink…
Red, yellow, blue and green
So many colours have I ever seen
Recycled materials
Making me curious
So sitting down
Having a little chow
Enjoying the ambiance
And fitting in the camouflage

Carpet Seat
“Oh look at that carpet in the window:
It looks stuck in a colour overload limbo!”
“Well, have you ever!
A carpet on the seat?
It’s like we are hexed!
What will be next?
Carpets replacing sheet?
Pillows on the floor?
A toilet next to the outdoor?”

Lunch Time
Time for lunch
Possibly even brunch
Find your way
Where all the others stay
No need to pay
Just sit down and for a while stay
Have some chicken
Which is good as finger licking
Maybe afterwards
Some mini cakes quite sticking
Or if you want something healthy
You do not need to be weatlhy
Just grab some melons
Cantaloupe or honey
No, not trying to be funny
It’s all there
Nothing has been spared
For your vacation
Is most important to this station
To make you happy
And maybe later,
Time for a nappy!

World Wide Wednesday in Kos Island
“Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop
Sunset,Poolside
Night is falling
Bed is calling
But reluctant
To leave
A few more snaps
Before I hit the sack
Wouldn’t miss this
The last of sun’s kiss
Before it sets
Then I am off
To bed!

Dirty Laundry
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
-“Dirty Laundry” Don Henley

Mountain Views
I’ll tell you no lies:
There were blue skies
Clear and cool as ice
Worth while
Ye old blue eyes
