A small report from the walks I did on Chalki has been posted here.

Three new walks (walk 12, 13 and 14) are added to my Rhodes page. Not a lot of “feedback” neccessary from me on these, just for once walks that are easy to find and follow. The first one can be done from town, but the last two can only be done with a base in Monólithos, the bus is twice a week…

Speaking of hotels, once again I will also have to mention Nina Macheraki’s little Camelot in Rhodes Town. I cannot help but feel at home here, after all these years…

So where to stay in a small village like Monolithos? Surely there are no comfortable options, but you will have to try to rent a small room somewhere? Quite the opposite, surprisingly (or maybe NOT so surprisingly) Monolithos has a very nice and cosy small hotel, the Thomas Hotel. You will be well taken care of there!

I have new pictures from Rhodes: http://www.islandwalking.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/141

Especcially are there pictures from the idyllic mountain village of Monolithos (as above). Many years has passed since I visited a place that just sent shivers down my spine like this one did. I just cannot recommend this place enough, and you absolutely must visit this lovely place! (more on that in a later post)

A new island has been added to my collection. I have no specific report about the island yet, but here are some pictures I took during my walks etc.: http://www.islandwalking.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/142

Here the solution has been achieved and pressing the button in the mddle opens an image linking to the “sneak peek”:

Your final reward for playing the “Journals” is perhaps not much, just a sneak peek of the temple on the main island (a.k.a Temple Island):

Back in 1997 a great and ingenious website (at the time) appeared. It was “the Riven Journals”, a preview of “Riven”, the sequel to the famous “Myst” game. I really had no idea a functional website restoring this old site still exists. It is a challenge playing this preview today as the original “Journals” relied on Java applets for the puzzels. I have however discovered that on an old Mac running Mac OS 10.4, and using Safari 5.1.10, the game is completely functional (more screenshots will follow in a later post):
