Following our customary 4am call to prayer from the mosque opposite the hotel ( it really works. We were moved to exclaim 'Oh God! each time we heard it), we headed back out to join the coach for our return journey to Rhodes.
Somewhat foolishly, Doner Trump had provided us all with feedback forms regarding the quality of hotel rooms, meals, the excursions and, crucially what we thought of our guide......
Initially, there was much excitement as people began mapping out the best phrases to describe the less than stellar Doner.
And then.....
Someone pointed out that our names were also written at the top of the form . Most then backed away from outright criticism, fearing another trip to the carpet factory.
As I'm sure you're aware by now blogmates, I'm made of sterner stuff. I had considered just putting the link to this blog by way of feedback but settled in the end for a few choice words.
I won't deny, it made for a slightly frosty five hour coach trip to the ferry port. It was apparent that Doner had read the forms.
Once in Marmaris we boarded the catamaran for our 'scenic cruise ' back to Rhodes. In fact, you're seated so low and the windows are so salt-encrusted that visibility is nil. But still, I suppose it was a catamaran and we were cruising along, so two out of three......
At last, we docked in Rhodes and after a mere one and a half hours of queueing (outside. And it was very windy) we were stamped back into Greece.
We're now settled into our hotel which at first glance seems very nice.
Stay tuned though.........
