I must thank the boys at the little "Au Bon Cafe" at Karpathou and Stoarolkou [tel. 22.41.03.60.75] in Rhodes Town, especially Stamatios, because for the cost of a cappacino you can sit for as long as you want at the cafe's two laptops. It is here that I write my blog posts. Very nice.
Most of the other Internet Cafes on the island of Rodos that are listed in the travel guides have closed down, gone belly-up for various reasons. Some hotels have the coin-operated computers but not many. Seems to be the way of Greece and the world, many closures.
There are demonstrations in Syntagma Square in Athens, although the news is in Greek, of course. The sound of Vespa scooters still resonates in the airwaves, so people can still afford to buy gasoline! The pretty Greek boys still smile at you when you pass their shop; nice for us older gals of a certain age, eh. Make fond memories even in the downturn times! Hey, we're tourists on holiday having fun and spending our hard-earned money, supporting the country's economy, right? So here I go, leaving the cyber cafes behind going out into the sunshine.
