We spent the morning at the castle seeing the exhibits there. Rough Guide said they were good, and really they were, but also very much like so much we've already seen at other archeology museums this trip. They had some really fine mosaics from other islands though. And the marble windows were pretty cool.
We also explored by day those same back alleys we'd seen by night. They weren't as romantic, but at least we were able to get some photos.
Compare with the famous and crowded Gothic Street of the Knights, which we found anything but appealing.
Next up we walked down to the harbor to see where the Colossus supposedly stood, with one foot where each deer pillar now stands. It's not such a wide distance as we'd imagined. Perhaps he really did span them...
We then walked the beach, and since we had nowhere safe to leave our cameras, took turns going in the water. First up at the unprotected area with big rough waves, then in the calmer area where Josh enjoyed the diving platform.
We walked the town some more in the calm and cool of the evening.

Overall, it was a nice relaxing day, but we wouldn't really have missed anything if we'd taken the early morning ferry to Turkey. It probably would have been more worthwhile to spend the day somewhere else. Rhodes was incredible by night, but one evening would have been enough.
