Elounda Mare Hotel

... on the house with George. There is a wonderful array of people sitting at the bar in the evening,(mostly long time friends of George) of all ages and from all over the world and they just all seem to gel even though some of them have just got to know each other. We spent some wonderful evenings at this bar and are so thankful we found this campsite as it is by far the best, cheapest and friendliest on Crete.
It is a very clean and has ...

Somehow wherever I am on holiday I think about Mark. Perhaps it's because you notice couples holding hands on the beach or it's just part of the holiday romance ...

... to report and this was at 19.15hrs but he was informed at 05.00hrs now you get your conclusion. I strongly believe that the raid was organized with somebody from the hotel and the thief's used a narcotic gas and a fake key to make the entry. My advice ...do not go in Greece especially in the place I m talking about you will have no security and nobody will care about you, the tourism agencies are selling just stories from the books in this case.

We are pooped!!!!!

We have been hard core sight seeing since Bologna and are so tired that nothing impresses us any more and we no longer have any desire to look at anything. Luckily this is a nice place with a swimming pool, just what we need to rekindle our energy. Our hotel is nice, one of the nicest we have had on the whole trip and it still cost only 80 Euro's. That's what happens ...

... the time at fabulous pebbled beaches, eating dolmades, souvlaki, mousaka, baklava, and drinking raki.
We need to work on getting more sleep next phase. The locals eat dinner at 10:00pm and we seem to have fallen in to that pattern, but no complaints.
We are taking a boat to the island of Santorini to see some island life tomorrow.

... turisti pe metru patrat intr-un continu no flash please, no flash please. Totul a devenit comercial, muzeele au fost inlocuite cu magazine de suveniruri, fantanile cu apa sfantita de automate de cafea iar straiele bisericesti cu sorturi de pizer. Chiar vorbesc serios.

Obositi poate de inaltarea spirituala a pelerinajului sau de greabanul spinarii magarului cu 3 euro ne-am oprit dupa cateva zile in statiunea Hersonissos de pe malul Mediteranei ...

Just finished reading Portraits by Cynthia Freeman. Makes me feel even more grateful for my family. I must be one of the luckiest girls around to have a family who love and support me.

Went out to dinner last night. Nicky & Graham had given us a lovely card which us a great trip and £40! for us to spend so that we at least are able to go to dinner once - so that's what we did. We walked down to town. It's a pretty place build around teh bay with here and there a fisher's boat resting in the sea. Seeing all the restaurants we were afraid (well that's not really the right word but you know what I mean) of being hassled by every restaurand emplyee ...

... apartement. But at last -we didn't think we would ever get there!- we arrived there and sat down exhausted, dripping with sweat, at the pool dipping our feet in the lovely cool water. I almost, almost, jumped in it with all my clothes on and all! After a few minutes Eve decided to get busy and clean the pool and tried to get bugs and leaves out of it with a fsihing net. When back at our aprtment we ...

... we stood, the two of us, backpacks at our feet thinking what are we doing here?! Crossing the road and going down the path where we find a sign to our villa '500 m'. Now it might just be me but these Greek meters are sure longer than ours! We walked, and walked, and in the end climbed - although climbing? Seriously struggling to get up the hill in the burning sun with ...
