Dimitrion Hotel Hersonissos

... to the ship. <br><br>5. I made it back to the ship with only moments to spare. I was the last to board and I was conscious that the captain waits for no one. Shortly after 8 we were sailing again and we could see the twinkling lights of Crete disappear as we dined by a window at the stern. Sandra had lamb and I had beef tournedo. Sumptuous. And relaxing as we looked forward to the next day at sea followed by our next destination: the tiny island of Malta.<br><br>

... the bus (3 hour journey) to the town near where we were booked in for two nights. We arrived in the town, Chania, to discover there were no buses to anywhere near our hotel and we would have to catch a taxi. To complicate matters, Mark discovered that we had lost the credit card. Big Bugger. We managed to scrape together enough cash to pay for the taxi to our apartment / hotel room, which was LOVELY, but unfortunately in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! No cafes, no ...

Yesterday we got up at 5am in order to catch our plane from Santorini. Most of our group was on the same plane , so we said our sleepy good byes. We flew on Aegean Air which has nice new planes. We went to Athens and then basically retraced the short flight by flying to Crete. We staggered into hotel Lato at 10am where we received a special bonus upgrade to the 5th floor executive suite. 2 rooms on the 5th floor with an ...

... was magic but the cocktails were dreadful. Kevin&#8217;s martini had ouzo in it but the barman refused to do another. Chris&#8217; margharita seemed to be alcohol free and Milly&#8217;s Manhattan didn&#8217;t taste very good. So we moved to Axos for more drinks &#8211; this time excellent, and then to our favourite eating place, Yannis, for dinner. The drinks and food there were superb too and they gave us free cheese pies and raki (as if we needed more booze). Nice.

We had a delay. Got up around 3:45 am and left Rose Cottage at 4 O'Clock for the airport. It was already starting to get lioght as we cruised by sleeping English villages. By the time we arrived at the airport it was fully light. Stood in a lond que(sp?) for check-in where we were told that our plane was delayed adnd that would we would hear further news at 10 am! (the joy of ...

... together, tensions started running high, especially when I didn't do things EXACTLY as she liked them to be done. The oranges had to be squeezed in the correct way for the fresh orange juice, the sparklers on the cocktails had to be sticking out at just the right angle, the coffee cup handles had to be presented to customers facing the right so it could be picked up easily... all this, and yet she was aiming for an informal atmosphere behind the bar! So, Hersonissos wasn't ...
