4 September - One day in Rhodes

"Today  we  approached  the  Greek  island  of  Rhodes  and  entered  the harbor  late  in  the  evening.  Because  of  great  harbor  traffic we  had to  leave  the  pier  very  early  in  the  morning  and  wait  for  the Scouts  of  Athens  to  fix  us  on  a  new  place. Meanwhile, a  huge aircraft-carrier  approached  the  island  and  anchored  next  to  our boat! Thus, our  sessions  on  Conflict  prevention  and  peace  had  a very  "special"  background  view. Eventually, we landed  by early  afternoon  and  visited  the  beautiful  city  of  Rhodes. In  the evening, we  enjoyed  dinner  hosted  by  the  Greek  Scouts  Association and  returned  to  the  boat  after  a  very  long  walk  since  the  boat was  repositioned. During  the  night, the  sea  in  the harbor  was quite  rough  but  we  were  too  tired  to  realise."
