A poorly lit photo of the wildfires as seen from outside our hotel room, just before evacuation. The fire was around 1.5km from us as the time and was completely out of control

   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.
