Last minute to Rhodes

We just spent a very nice week on the Greek island Rhodes. Despite numerous hiccups along the way:

> We arrived at the airport one day too early (AND our flight was sheduled for 5am!). Our driver did not thank us!
> The hotel was overbooked. Armed with nothing but a vague idea of where we had to go (name of town & hotel - no address!) we set off in our little car. Of course we couldn’t find the hotel (it was like looking for a needle in a haystack) and the owner ended up having to collect us.
> We both caught a violent stomach bug AND the hotel's watertank broke. No running water = no shower and most importantly, NO TOILET! Ugh.
> We lost the keys to our room and safe in the ocean, TWICE!
> On the flight back, my seat 21A did not exist.

Nevertheless, we returned relaxed (thanks to three days in bed), if not refreshed. ;-)
