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 ...

... deck overlooking the harbor and old Venetian walls, as well as the Mt. Idi mountains. Not shabby - we even get a couple of chaises. Of course we won't actually be spending much time lounging around the hotel because we have to see the Minoans.

A short way down the road brought us to Gortyna (Gortys), another famous ruin, and former capital of the Roman province of Crete, as well as north Africa. Other than the shell of the old basilica, Ayios Titos, the most impressive remaining ruin was the wall containing the Law Codes of Gortys.
