Bargain Hunting

Jewels, porcelain and knickknacks. Some of it handmade and made to last.
If you were looking for a bargain with some local jargon, then this is the place.
So many shops and nice things, you could spend a few days! Shopping that is 😉

Shopping and Lunch Time in Kos for WWW

"Never go on trips with anyone you do not love"

En route

En route, in a crowded bus. Time for a selfie, but of course.
On today’s menu: Shopping, shopping, shopping, with a break for lunch and plenty a coffee!
Weather forecast: Sunshine and extremely hot, leaving sweat stains on every spot.
Remember to drink plenty of fluids, because dehydration, can be an ugly sensation!

Gun’s Travel Diary: Greece – Rhodes Island (Three)

Posted in Travel /Photography /Travel Diary /TBT

A Greek isn’t just “very busy”…she’s “running without arriving” (τρἐχει και δεν φτἀνει)

The Arrival

Gun’s travel log, stardate 08.08.2015, 11.00 EET (GMT +3)

Aeroport:

The flight was right on time and we landed on the Diagoras aeroport. The bus whisked us to the terminal, where the bags soon arrived without any hassle. The aeroport itself is very small, but comfortable. Not too much traffic, but just enough. Thinking ahead and wanting the brief vacation to run as smoothly as possible, we had spent the extra cost and reserved a private ride to the hotel.

Hotel:

hotel-lunch

Since we arrived at the hotel earlier than check out time (2 PM local time by default) we had to wait a few hours before settling in. The hotel itself, Amathus Elite Suites, Rhodes, was the option for us, simply because of the facilities and services offered: private pool and spa and of course the location: the north side of the island due to it’s cooling breeze.

At the hotel, the welcome was excellent and warm. And during our lengthened wait for our room to be ready (some three hours in the end) we were well taken care of: with coffee, fruits, juice and pastries and sweets and most importantly, free WI-FI!

After a quick tour around the complimentary services, we finally arrived in our suite. And of course, the pièce de résistance, the private swimming pool! Awaiting on ice: Sparkly wine and fruits. Now it was time to shed off the travel clothes and dip into the turquoise pool!

Coffee for Throwback Thursday

On Thursdays we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

This weeks archives are dedicated to the most finest organic suspension ever devised: Coffee!
So, sit down, relax, and enjoy a cup or few 😉

Monday with(out) Coffee

What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy

It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate

Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break
