   We’re in Rhodes and have been evacuated due to the wildfires.

   We’re safe in a hotel which has been turned into a temporary refuge.

   By all accounts, 30,000+ tourists and locals have been displaced in the last 24 hours and let me tell you, it’s been fucken scary.

   We went from our hotel being turned into a refuge to jumping on the back of a dump truck in the middle of the night, to walking for hours in pitch black to finally getting picked up by a coach to take us to where we are now.
