The Leaving of Symi

Up with the dawn, having heard cockerels crowing through the night as usual. Beautiful sunrise over Pedi Bay, and views over Yialos as we walked down the Kali Strata to catch the Dodekanese Express to Rhodes. Walked past several large boats - never seen one with a doorbell and a personalised doormat before!

Smooth crossing and transfer to the Hotel International where we dumped our cases for a few hours before we get shipped to Rhodes airport a few hours before we are due to leave. Wandered around Rhodes for a while, spotting unusual church, the Tornado Laundry and some frog graffiti. We are now holed up at the Plaza Hotel drinking decent coffee and taking advantage of their WiFi.

Just checked our flights, and the outward bound flight is boarding on time, so it looks as though we should arrive back in the UK in time to catch a train to Bath tonight. Let's hope it's not **too** cold, as we're both still in Symi clothes! Tomorrow's post will tell...
