Roaming to Rhodes

At the risk of turning into Alan Wicker, here are a few snaps from our recent holiday in Rhodes, posted here simply because some will be of interest to those who like fortifications and can build such things in miniature...

The moat walk affords an ideal view of the imposing walls...








 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


The old town, in parts practically unchanged for hundreds of years, has a fantastic atmosphere.
 

 



 

 
 
 

 



Our hotel provided lovely views from the 11th floor restaurant balcony out over to Asia Minor, just a few miles away. I can imagine ancient peoples looking across the short stretch of water and wondering what could lie within those vast lands...


 
 
 

That's all for now.
Not much to report in the way of wargaming, although being in hot climes with ancient histories always stimulates thoughts of new armies!
