Tourists in Heraklion
This is unfortunately our last day in Crete and we decide to spend it in Heraklion with a visit to its very famous museum. The museum is actually under refurbishment at the moment but thank god they had a temporary exhibition set-up next door. Mum would have ...

The 4-hour ferry ride from Santorini was rough (plus the extra hour that we spent on the rocking ship when they tricked me into boarding early…we did get good seats).
