The third port of call was the island of Rhodes.

Again, as with Mykonos, I remember mum, dad and I all being taken with this place.

Dad shot, by his standards, a heap of cine there – 160 seconds (between 6’20” and 9’00”). The shot of dad strolling around the 8’00 mark is one of my early efforts with video.

The film also shows me and mum looking in a shop window which had, amongst other things, some onyx animal artefacts, one or two of which mum snapped up and treasured thereafter,

This was our view at Rhodes from the ship (other cruise ships, mostly).
