After walking through the maze of streets and alleys in Lindos you arrive at the steps leading to the Acropolis. That's when you fully realize that it is a long way up in the hot beating Sun to the top, but the view is definitely worth the physical exertion you will expend. When you're this close you certainly have an appreciation for the amount of work that must have been involved in creating such large stone structures. |

| Having enjoyed our day roaming around Lindos and the ruins of the Acropolis, Anne and I boarded the bus for the short trip back to the ship. Soon after arriving the ship departed headed for our next destination, Alexandria, Egypt. As we left the harbor I took the picture (right) showing the point where it is believed that one of the legs of the Giant Colossus of Rhodes once stood. |  |
