🇺🇸 In honour of the 4th of July, let me introduce you to my favourite city in the USA... PITTSBURGH, PA 🇺🇸
A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting and fell in love with the city. The hospitality, the food, the wide range of activities! Here's my snapshot guide:
Top 3 Things To Do:
1) Catch a thrilling game at PNC Park or Acrisure Stadium - baseball or football. The energy is unbeatable!
2) Stroll through the lush Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens – a botanical paradise!
3) Ride the iconic Duquesne Incline for breathtaking views of the city skyline.

@ajhackettbungynz
A huge thanks to the team at AJ for looking after me!!! 34 years ago, my mum did her bungy over Auckland Harbour, so it was only fitting that I did mine here, too!
I almost backed out, but the amazing crew got me psyched up and off the ledge (literally), and I'm still buzzing hours later

And so to a very sobering topic and the whole reason I came to Rhodes... this summers wildfires. Only a few months ago, 15% of the island was on fire for 10 days. The damage will take years to fix. Homes, forests, hotels are all lost.
Many hotels sustained damage in the Gennadi and Kiotari area. Most are now fixed and have already reopened. Some will take longer to rebuild.
What has been evident, however, during my short time on the island is the strong community strength that shone through in such a dark time. Strangers helping each other, locals offering sanctuary for tourists. There is a common hope from all islanders that the devastation will strengthen the community.
And so to a big question... should you be put off going to hotels in the Kiotari and Gennadi region? There's no denying that the drive-in offers a glimpse of fire damage with burnt valleys and barren hills rather than lush grewn forests. However, the hotels and the lovely beaches are untouched or already refurbished.
Your journey to the island will help the tourism industry return to normal, offer jobs and opportunities for the locals, and subsequently pump money into the local economy, allowing for regeneration of the charred land. New trees are already being planted with more to come.
Please don't disregard Rhodes because of this summer. The islanders are here welcoming you with open arms.
