Acropowhat?

This morning Sea and I woke up nice and early and caught the bus to Lindos. The bus ride lasted about an hour, we saw a bunch of little villages on the way and the tour guide passed the time by sharing tidbits of information about the island with us. We got off the bus in Lindos and were faced with a decision, go up to the acropolis (either by walking or via donkey) or walk down to the beaches. We opted to go up to the acropolis but decided against riding the donkeys after our tour guide told us a story in which someone fell off the donkey while it was going down the steep mountain. I'm not sure what category "being crushed by a donkey" goes under when it comes to speaking to the insurance company, but I wasn't overeager for a chance to find out.
The acropolis was pretty high up on the mountain and the climb seemed a bit daunting but we decided to do it anyways.

Here's what it looked like on the inside after we spent 15 minutes climbing up the side of the mountain.

It took a while, but after a lot of huffing and puffing (and some slipping and sliding, maybe I shouldn't have worn my naot...) we finally made it to the top of the acropolis.

We managed to get one picture before the security guard yelled at us for climbing over the barrier.

I'm glad we decided not to be lazy because the view from the top was absolutely stunning!

 We wandered around for a while longer reluctant to part with the beautiful view, but the sun was beating down on us and we didn't want the bus to leave without us so we headed back to the village square. We managed to weasel into a spot in the shade and ate some snacks while we waited for the shuttle to take us back up to the main parking lot.
The bus ride back to the hotel was quiet and uneventful since everyone was tired from standing in the sun all morning.
We got back to the hotel and decided to check out the beach, we spent the last couple of days staring at it from our room but had yet to go in the water.
The shore is covered in pretty (but sharp) rocks, we walked/waddled along until we came to an area where there was sand which was super soft (especially after walking on rocks).

The waves were pretty calm and the water was cool, we floated around in the waves and watched people windsurfing further out in the distance.

It started to get a bit windy and the waves were getting a bit aggressive so we decided to get out and head back to our room to shower.

Now we're hanging out in the room eating dinner and debating what sorts of shenanigans we should get ourselves into this evening.

Tomorrow we're taking a boat out to Symi (an island that's about 2 hours away), I'm not sure what there is to do there but I'm guessing we'll find out... :)
