Today we will wander around the old city with trips to the open air market and the archeological museum.

The ferry and airplane rides seem to affect my (Nancy's) inner ear in a way that on land, everything continues to move. It is annoying and made hiking up and down rocky hillsides a little extra challenging. Hopefully it will quiet down now that there are nop more ferry rides.

... Greek story tellers - the Minoans were highly organized and technologically advanced some 4000 years ago, and well before the Greeks. The palace grounds were bought from the Turks in 1900, by a British archaeologist, Harold Evans, and he spent the next 35 years investigating and restoring (controversially) the ruins. Well done Evans and another yah boo sucks to Lord Elgin.

We went to one of the beach front bars near Leoniki Residence for cocktails. The view at ...

... ago whemn it said it was still delayed! So we rushed towards our gate (of course first through security) and me making some impressive acrobatic moves trying not to fall with my slippery flipflops on the marble stones. But we made it and are now on our way to Crete! I think that's all for now. Oh I just spend £2,- on a cup of tea! How expensive can it be?!

... sought off on their own and we did run into them at the open market. It was quaint but we didn't have enough time to see the island. Samantha Brown mentioned on her travel show that the port town was nothing to write home about and she was correct. The beauty of the island according to her was on the other side. Someday we may get there but if we don't it won't be the end of the world.

In all of my genius I deleted the Crete and Turkey photos by accident and boy was that ever a sad day. Of course the first thing I did after getting home from the cruise was upload the Sbux series to Facebook, so now the Starbucks photo is the only one left of Crete :(

... was difficult and mentally draining. I would pick up the odd Dutch word common with old Scots language and use these language similarities to try and piece each conversation together, but in vain. It was impossible to take part in any discussion. So I resigned myself to cleaning the same spots over and over again, trying to look too busy to distract myself from my work - my perfect excuse not to look like a spare part. I was quite happy doing this, until Nikki told me off for ...
