Arrived in Heraklion
... other (they're only having a conversation really!) and all sorts of airport staff sat in a long line wearing sun glasses and smoking cigarettes. We jump in a taxi straight away and for 12 euros we reach our Hotel. The city is only 4 kilometres west of the airport and it only takes 10 minutes to get there. Quite an entertaining short drive though...as while the car was making a persistent beep beep ...
Kreta
... ook nog geen 8 uur. De cabinesteward heeft waarschijnlijk mijn klokje juist gezet want het duidt wel degelijk de juiste tijd aan.

We leave the car in the port carpark unlocked with the keys under the drivers mat, well that is what the car hire company told us to. Goodbye car and we jump on our Hellenic Seaways Vodafone Seacat ferry to Mykonos (via Santorini and Paros).
