Cruise Phase 1
... the ports at the same time as us which makes it busy and crowded. As you would expect, most of our sightseeing is limited to the areas around the ports. Time and opportunity prohibits in depth exploring, but it certainly allows us to get the flavour of the different places we have visited.
While cruising might not be for everyone, it certainly has been a great experience so far. Very good if you want to practise your skill of striking up a conversation with random ...

... and simple. We're both knackered from the early start and decide to have a little nap back at the hotel. 4 hours later we wake up..and it's time for food again! If you're in Heraklion for a short stay, like us, this is a great place for a stop over, with a roof terrace where you can drink and dine, overlooking the harbour.

Heraklion to Mykonos - Ferry Trip from hell
... with white towns. We can see Oia and Thira and few other towns.
7.30pm and no sign of a ferry. Feeling somewhat frustrated we head back to the office to see that cranky cow who has absolutely no customer service skills. We get told 8.45pm. Several times back and forth to the office to get information. Hellenic Sea Ways were absolutely dreadful, no information given to passengers, no apology announced, no vouchers for a drink or meal, ...
