Stone Town

During our time in Zanzibar we toured the historic Stone Town area a World Heritage site. Some of our pics show its Arabic influence.

20 Something Snaps - Rhodes

Just a month ago we docked for the second time in Rhodes Greece. It was nearing the end of our holiday and we were a trifle tired after six weeks of touring. 

As we had previously visited the port and done a rather extensive tour of the major sights we opted to have a slow day and wander around the historic old town by ourselves. I could easily spend a week on this delightful island.

I just managed to sort and label our photos this morning so, while it's fresh in my mind I'll share a few.

The French are here

Many cats call Rhodes home

There are old and new trades

Lots of restaurants and watering holes

Souvenirs around many corners

Kota Kinabalu

1 April 2018

We had a long bus ride to get to Kinabalu Park, an area part way up Mount Kinabalu. Kinabalu Park  is Malaysia's first World Heritage Site. Our walk along the Silau Silau Nature Trail which was quite rough took us through the Mountain Garden where we saw many exotic plants.

Our tour included a dreadful buffet lunch at the Liwagu Restaurant. we didn't eat much as we had been fortified by a good breakfast on the ship and knew there will be another  beautiful dinner waiting for us back on board.
