A Nostalgic Journey

This was my first ever impression of Greece. I was eleven years old, and it was my first trip outside Scandinavia at all. I've travelled quite a bit since then, and I've been back to Rhodos later, but the very first impression of a country and a culture, at a time before mass-tourism barely had left traces, make these memories so special..

I vividly remember coming over the hill on my rented scooter and seeing Lindos. Magic.

What a memory. Darling pictures of you 17 years ago! Lucky you, the only child in the group. Looks like fun for you and a lovely place.

I also went to Lindos about 17 years ago. Are the donkeys still there that take you up to the Acropolis.
