Rhodes & Paphos May 2022

A day in Rhodes, Greece May 9 and a day in Paphos, Cyprus May 10, 2022. Cyprus is an interesting country. It's part Greek and part Turkish. It only gained its independence in 1960 -- from the UK. There is a "green line" which separates the two parts, but we didn't get to see it while there, as it's quite a ways up north from Paphos.
