Domain of The Wannabelg - Back from Rhodes already...

I got a nudge from Zoolady telling me I should make a post already -laughs- so here I am :).

She is right as well, it's been more than four weeks! I really didn't have the time in preparation of our trip. I had to work until the last day before we left (at night), so I was panicking a bit that I wouldn't get done in time. But it worked and at the moment it is over already.

We had a very nice holiday, with beautiful weather. It was getting a bit too hot in the end even, with temperatures of about 38°. If you're used to Belgian weather that is a bit too much, but the wind took the heat down. My mum and dad were with us this year and they had a great time too, so great even that my mum already wants to go to Kos next year because I advertised it so much to them ;).

We stayed in a lovely hotel, with about a 1000 rooms... which you didn't really notice because they were separated into all smaller buildings. Tom and I stayed in the main building, right next to the pool, we could almost dive in from our room! Of course we didn't spend much time there, but we managed a few afternoons at one of the three pools. Other days we found beaches in the areas we visited.

I got a few pictures uploaded but it takes quite long, so the rest will be up shortly.



This was the quad or 'little monster' as I called it that we rented for the first week we were in Rhodes. Powerful machine which got us over the mountains. And with a big case on the back to put all our things in.



Our first whole day in Rhodes we visited Filiremos, an Italian site on the island with an ancient monastery and way up a giant cross. You could even go in it and stand in the arms of the cross.



Second day we went to Epta Piges or Seven Springs. A quiet place which is lovely to sit.


The misery started when we got back. We still had about a week of holidays but it rained the whole time here! We didn't get to do much fun stuff :( We eventually decided to catch up on our movies and went to see 'Wolverine' and 'Star Trek'.

Liked both movies, but I'm not a SF fan...

Yesterday we went to a party for two of my cousins who celebrated their holy communion. The liberal version of it anyway, I don't know how it is called. Fun time spending time with the whole family again, I hadn't seen most of my cousins in about a year. And today we have to go to a barbecue at Tom's parents house, but it is raining again!!!

Stupid weather.

Work tomorrow, wish me luck. (The mess on my desk, argh!)
