Ixia

 Welcome to our first full day  back in Rhodes.  We're in Ixia, slightly south of Rhodes Town (not that you care, I imagine).

The beach here in Ixia is across a fairly busy main road and there's an underpass to allow for a safe passage. Disappointingly, this morning, the underpass was somewhat soiled:


The beach itself is pebbly - like Chesil Beach, but much smaller. And not as many pebbles. And in Greece....



As mentioned yesterday, the hotel is quite nice, although this hasn't prevented a fairly large section of the residents becoming incandescent in their rage against hapless rep, Michael. (Almost certainly not his real, Greek name)

Possibly against his better judgement, he convened a meeting this afternoon with the sole purpose of flogging his island trip on Friday.

This quickly descended into a shouting match with hotel residents yelling increasingly bizarre complaints, ranging from having to wait for a lift whilst suffering from arthritis to dislike of the shower screens in the bathroom. Strong stuff.

Nevertheless, by means of shouting loudly and disparagingly over any hint of grievance, he managed to avoid actual physical harm.

However, as Scarlett O'Hara said, 'Tomorrow is another day'....
