Holiday Selfie
A planned one week holiday, where, when, how and if. And now, the moment had finally arrived!
Stepping out from the aeroplane onto the tarmac, cramming into the bus, which would take us the few meters to the terminal (rules are rules!) with many a Finns, who probably were as eager to start their holiday as we were!
Breathing the warm August air, mixed with a few gasoline fumes. Blue skies, palm trees, sweat pouring down our faces as the warm air filled our pores! We knew we had finally arrived: To the beautiful island of Kos!

Seat Sunday in Kos Island (One)
All in blue and white
As the principal
Traditional,
But of course
And definitely
Nothing by the Norse
A restaurant or bar
Always near
Never far
When in Greece
No need to sneeze
Because it’s always
Warm and bright
And you may sit
Almost, where ever
You like
Enjoy a meal
With something strong
Or even light
You’re on an island
Time for some smiling
After all
When in Greece!

Early Morning on a Saturday for the Daily Post
Too early
Airport calling
Surely
You wouldn’t want to
Miss the flight
It took so long
And one
Sleepless night
To get there
Where ever
You now wanted
To go
Breathe in
Breathe out
Let the morning air
Cool and thin
Hitting your skin
Clear all doubt
For soon
Sea and sun
Will replace
The mundane
And it’s not even
A Monday!
Get the pun?
Fun for The Daily Post

Fun
Gun’s Travel Log: Greece – Rhodes Island 14 (TBT)

Poetry, photography, tales and things that nature!
“You know, it is said that we Greeks are a fervent and warm blooded breed. Well, let me tell you something – it is true” Melina Mercouri
Ancient Kamiros
Gun’s travel log, stardate: Greece, Kamiros EET (GMT +3)
Kamiros (/kəˈmaɪərəs/; Greek: Κάμειρος) is an ancient city on the island of Rhodes, in the Dodecanese, Greece. It lies on the northwest coast of the island, three kilometres west of the village of Kalavarda.
This archaeological site contains ruins of the Hellenistic and Roman city of Kameiros together with the neighboring necropolis, which although first discovered in 1859 was mainly excavated during the Italian occupation of the island (1912-1943). Of the classical city, only the façade of a late classical fountain and some walls from the agora (market) remain.
The settlement was constructed on three separate levels of the hill. At the bottom was the first terrace with public buildings, market and temples, then on the second terrace was the main settlement and finally in a dominant position at the top of the hill was the acropolis with the Temple of Athena Kameirados (6th century BC), a reminder of the former wealth and historic significance of this ancient city.
