Greek Cruise Day 3 (Rhodes)

(A view from the port)

On the third day we rose again, this time in Rhodes. We had the whole day to spend in Rhodes and I'm glad we did. In the morning we went and checked out of of the old ruins pictured in this post as well as visited the old castle on the island. After that we went though the market part of the city and checked out what they had to offer us. One strange sighting on the island was the German"Das Boot" beer glass. These things were offered in just about every eatery on the island in large and small sizes, I found that to be very strange.
After returning to the boat for lunch Jordan and I headed to the Beach. I was a pretty long walk but totally worth it. Now I can say I've swam in the Aegean Sea even though it was pretty cold and rocky which made it very difficult to walk on. Out in the ocean though there was a sweet diving platform that allowed you to basically jump in from cliff diving heights minus the cliff. I was pretty nervous about jumping because I basically broke my a** last time I jumped from this height in Jamaica, but I jumped anyways and survived to tell the tale.
