Kos 2008
When we arrived it was pitch black, we couldn't see the cactuses but they were at the entrance to our hotel. |

We went to Kos Town a lot, this is the main square where we left the bus. This here is Dolphin Square, you can see why from the photo. |
On the first day we discovered Christiana's taverna, it's only just down the road from Dolphin Square. We ate there quite a bit. The food was sublime. Mum and Dad both had veal schnitzel a lá cremé. |

This is the chef who made so many lunches very yummy. The lady is his waitress, she was really kind and made a fuss of me. |
Kos was one of the home towns of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. Here is a statue of him teaching some students. My mother says this is a fine example of a university, which is essentially a log with the teacher at one end and the student at the other. |

|
It is said that Hippocrates himself sat under this tree. Mum and I decided to get some shade there too. Mum was philosiphising "I drink therefore I am" |
As Mum was philosiphising, I was admiring this artist's work, so much that I absolutely had to take a photo of it. This is a good shady spot for doing many things. |

As we were walking back towards the square, I saw these beautiful purple flowers. Dad thought this photo would look really good if I included the arch as well. |
Sometimes we had breakfast at a café near the harbour. One morning, I looked around (as I always do!) and saw this magnificent tree. I thought that it was amazing, so I took a photo. |
|
|
After a good breakfast, we headed towards this big castle, which was on a cliff. After we had paid to go in and looked about a bit, we saw this cage with some old cannons and different sized cannonballs. |
We were about to walk through an archway, when we saw this plaque. In English (it said underneath the Greek) it says, 'Gate of commander Edoardo di Carmadino (1478)' |

As we carried on with our merry little jaunt, we spotted a greek navy ship, that's what that ship is. I thought it was odd so I took a picture. |
