No fixed abode so a week in Crete
... photos! Whilst I was still nursing burning calves from the trek two days previous, Lou was keen to go and explore so we decided to visit Venizelos Tombs that are located about 5km from town. A 10 minute bus ride or, as Lou decided, a one and a half hour uphill walk! It turned out to be well worthwhile but the downhill walk back did little to ease my aching legs.
