HHUDE5 The Isle nf Buses Our V1S1t to Rhodes, most famous of the Dodecanese Islands, was one of the most enj oyable of the cruise We anchored a few hundred yards off the city and by means of the ship s binoculars were soon enjoying a long glass liberty We were pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful beach adorned with what a beach needs most to make It attractive. Those of us who looked further, also noted many attractive buildings and became aware of the immaculate cleanliness of the city. Our liberty section quickly went ashore, and during our five day stay visited the old walled city with the Castle of the Knights of St. John its most prominent feature. We looked in vain for the site of the famed Colussus and soon discovered no one is too sure of exactly where it was located. A visit to the beach did nothing to dispel its distant promise, and many of us spent hours enjoying the mild waters of the Mediterranean there. The beach itself was unlike any we had previously seen, being composed of small many-hued pebbles instead of sand. - u . , Q n u 65 . 7, ' n Commander Stambolis, Greek Naval Commander on Rhodes, bent every effort to make our stay enjoyable. He arranged tours to the Ruins of Lindos and Petaloude, the valley of the butterflies. Arrangements were also made for us to hear several con- certs and to witness a Grecian dance festival. T The Dickson tried to repay this hospitality and entertained about 150 orphan children on board. They were presented with toys, shown movies and fed ice cream and cake. We will all long remember our friends on Rhodes and believe the Dickson will remain a pleasant memory for the friendly people we met there. a, ' ff . K 5 .Q . ff - 5 3 Q 1 N 3 J , .a Vx G 5 f .
