Thank you for your continuing supportiv...Hi Nicky,<br /><br />Thank you for your continuing supportive comments. The 'bag' really didn't stop me or interfere with anything at all. It was a huge test for me to see if I really could cope with it outside of my 'comfort zone'. <br /><br />Sarah and M live just outside Faliraki at the moment. He also has a large town house in Rhodes Town itself but they are currently renting an apartment away from the hustle and bustle of Faliraki itself. The whole island is truely beautiful, sadly so many tourist do not venture outside either the Old Town or Faliraki itself. <br /><br />If anyone goes, get friendly with a local Taxi driver and they will do organised tours. They charge a fraction of what the organised tours cost and you have the freedom to go at your own pace. <br />PS. I have the number of a very reliable driver if anyone needs it :-)<br /><br />I intend to do a whole post on my adventures with baggy, probably tomorrow. <br /><br />Much luv Nicky and tell Stevie he's in my thoughts. <br /><br />xxxxCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470170206537639792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-11027695700692063182011-03-26T07:34:41.628+00:002011-03-26T07:34:41.628+00:00Wow!

I have to confess I was deliberately looking for evidence of the bag but couldn't see it. That gives a little confidence to my Stevie for our forthcoming holiday. Judging by your pictures, said bag didn't stop you enjoying your holiday. Looking forward to reading about how you coped with the practicalities of travelling with it. You've no idea how much your blog helps other people Carole, thankyou so much for sharing your story.
