Greek Market/old town





Sorry for the complete overload of photos. But Greece ( rhodes island ) has probably been my all time favourite holiday. So many bright colours, incredible food and landscapes and everything was just so beautiful. I think some of my very distant and ooolllddd relatives grew up in Rhodes and it was so lovely visiting all the old shops and houses they used to own. But the market. Oh my days. It was hands down incredible. I don't think I've ever seen so many bright colours in one place. And not so fun fact, they paint the bottom of the trees white so ants don't crawl up them :)
But my favourite stall ( I say stall, it was on a boat ) was a little place selling shells. It's the first shop I've ever seen that was on a boat. The shells there were so adorable and the layout was amazing and I came out with about 5 of the dyed starfish.
The hotel we were staying in was 5 star so I felt very privileged and fancy! And somehow I was persuaded to go paragliding and to be pulled on an inflatable thing by a speed boat. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. Every time the boat turned you felt like the inflatable was about to capsize ( you were basically swung off ) and if you let go you'd be stranded in veeerrryy deep seawater - if you're like me and get scared that there's sharks even in shallow water, you can imagine how scary that would be.
So thumbs up if you can see how terrified I am in those two pictures.

pictures from my tumblr.

Okay I'm not gonna lie. This post is so ridiculously ironic I'm tempted to take it down/delete my other tumblr post. You see, I did a post with the title why tumblr annoys me, basically explaining why I did't have a tumblr account and why tumblr annoyed me ( note past tenses - suspense ). But after posting that I had a look on tumblr ( on a computer - don't worry pals - that was not a serious word I am not a cowboy ) and thought 'how hard can it be to set up an account?' Turns out very.
The actual setting up is probably the most frustrating thing apart from finding a picture that fits the YouTube channel art section ( I can't even begin to explain the struggle ). But once I had the account set up I think I re-blogged about 60 pictures in 10 minutes. I can really see why it's so addictive. Basically 10 tumblr minutes is 3 human hours and believe me once you've joined tumblr you're not human.
My tumblr is themed black, white and green. I know that is ridiculously overrated ( WHY IS EVERYONE SO OBSESSED WITH PLANTS ) but it was either that or text posts and once I find a text post account it's just scrolling and reading until I've read them all.
My phone STILL isn't letting me get the tumblr app so I'm going to have to make-do with my dad's EXTREMELY annoying android/very very old computer because he refuses to get a mac.
Let's count how many times I said the word tumblr in that.
