Not sure when I woke up because I'm not sure I ever went to sleep! I know I was up at 11.30 and we were about to come into the port of Rhodes. We were meant to be here at 10 haha.
Got a cab to old town and asked a few locals and got to my hotel easy enough. The reception lady was really really nice and could see I was exhausted so moved me to a room that was ready. I had a much needed shower and went down the street and got a chicken yiros- best one yet. It had this amazing aoili sauce on it that was delicious. I also got a strawberry/lemon slushy as I was so hot I needed ice.
Walked over to the port and went to get my ferry ticket to fethiye and back and they said €75 return. Whhatttt it's an hour away. So I went to 2 other an they said the same thing dammit. So I got it and a ferry back to santorini Saturday week that leaves Rhodes at 2am and gets there at 10pm!! It goes via every island just about! So I got a bedroom for it and hopefully I can sleep and then buy wifi and Skype for awhile and go back to sleep haha it was only €50 and my seat last night was €33 so really worth it!!
Came home and tried to get the wifi working but it looks like its down which is soooo annoying. Really wanted to sleep but didn't want to waste the day so I went to the beach. It was a really nice beach club and the girl said sit down and the lady will come and you will pay. She never came yay! Managed to hook up onto the Rhodes wifi and tried to Skype with mum but ended up just vibering.
At 5 I gave up and headed home. Decided to eat dinner early so I could go to sleep early as I could barely keep my eyes open.
The lady on reception recommended yannis restaurant which is just downstairs and when I read some reviews of the hotel I remember people saying great things about a restaurant below it. So I went down and there was a beautiful little man with his pants up to his chin (he is yanni). I ordered the svoulaki with rice and potatoes and tzadziki. He got me this big cup and put ice and water in it and brought it over. He is sold old he does everything slowly but it was only 5.30 so I was the only one there.
When my meal came out it smelt amazing!! I wish my photos were scratch and sniff!! And it was so so good. The lady says he makes everything by hand every morning. I asked for the bill and it was €9!! I had to much I was about to roll out. And when I stood up he said sit down sit down and I didn't know what he was on about so I sad back down and he quickly ran out the back and came back with a big slice of watermelon haha. And then another old man came out and he said he just wants to make you happy that is all. Naw, bless.
