Shopping and Lunch Time in Kos for WWW
"Never go on trips with anyone you do not love" Ernest Hemingway
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" Ernest Hemingway
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!

Caturday in Kos Island
“Cats rule the world.” Jim Davis
What are you looking at?
“Are you looking at me?
You, looking, me?”
“Nah, I’m just resting here for a while
It’s cool, hope you don’t mind!”
“Well, as long as you remember,
You are in my turf now
So just move along before the clock hits September!”

Caturday in Kos Island
“Cats rule the world.” Jim Davis
Making Friends
Furry and purring
A real little bundle of joy
Shouted “Ahoy!”
“Are you here to make friends,
because you don’t want to be my enemy”
She said
As out of the bushes she stepped
“Because this is my turf
Which daily I surf.
So what’s it gonna be, smurf?
Scratch behind my ears
Or I’ll scratch you until your eyes fill with tears?”
She acted real tough
But, withholding my snicker
My heart flickered
A good scratch behind the ears
And a little more under the chin
And all I heard after that
Was some grateful purring

The Castle of Joanites (The Castle of the Knights of Saint John)
Last one for today: a cannon, some building, which looked nice and my saviour for the day: Ice Coffee!

More ruins: Can you feel the ages passed?

A Day in the Town of Kos
Plenty a sights to see, from the ruins of old to the more recent palm trees.
Early morning take off, with a huff and a puff and a scoff, we managed to catch the bus, without too much fuss.
A few stops on the way, to pick up many a stray, or possible tourists from the nearby village 😉
We were en route, the roads not so smooth, traffic heavy, especially when nearing the city.
Finally, arriving. One hour, in a minimalistic bus, where knees were hitting your chin, and barely managed to squeeze your derriere into the seat.
Now, finally free, to do as we please!
First stop, archeological digs! If we can only get across the heavy traffic street!
Eventually, reaching the site, reading the map, filling in the gaps and enjoying the views.
“Snap, snap, snap!”
Now I recorded that!
Nice memories to enjoy now and in the coming years.
Each ruin tells a story. What, who, why, when, can you picture from the remaining frame?
History unfolds, as now and for years told.
Midday: The sun burning on the skin, sweat pouring even from my chins!
What to do?
A light lunch, or call it a brunch?
After that, a fully packed afternoon, with fun filled adventure: So into the trenches, we are ready for more, what ever this town has in store!
Much later: the fortress has been thoroughly searched, for whatever secrets in there lurched.
Now, before heading home, or the borrowed accommodations, for this week’s station:
Shopping, shopping, shopping!
And then…
… to crown the day, a healthy can with sweet, sweet ice coffee inside! Oh what an joyous ride!

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!
