DAY 85 – RHODES
Got to Rhodes and discovered that my plan to go to Crete is stuffed as the last ferry left a few hours before and the next ferry isn’t until Saturday, which is too late. Am disappointed but I’m sure something will come up.
Rhodes city is a beautiful Greek island with a bunch of well restored castles etc. The main industries seem to be restaurants, bars, souvenirs (some tacky, some not) and t-shirts.
The mosquitoes found me at the pub tonight. This is extremely disconcerting for a number of reasons:
- They have figured out the ferries in the Mediterranean. This means that they are much more clever than I previously gave them credit for
- They have been studying my behavior and are familiar with my major haunts. Once again this points to an increased level of intelligence.
- They are growing in confidence.
This new aggressive approach by the mosquitoes meant I had to take drastic action to save myself. Firstly I got them completely rat arsed. Then I passed out on the beach to lead them away from my real bed at my hostel. When I finally came to and decided it was safe to go home I made sure that I took a very indirect route and I never walked in a straight line. Luckily the plan worked but it was a close one.
