Day 49- 13th June. Crete
Woke to a lovely warm day again at 7.15am. Its funny here as, because we are up so high, there is a haze you look through when you look down. Graeme pointed out that we are above many of the clouds at this height- explains it!!
Tussled with the shower- its very like France where they have the shower head hung at about hip height and nowhere above that, so you end up kneeling and twisting in strange positions to get yourself washed!
We went down to the town again today to have a look around the shops. It is a very small village type setting where it all centres around the waterfront at the end of the streets. It is a sleepy, very casual setting that seems to cater for mostly Brits and Germans and is very family friendly. People rent the umbrellas and loungers and play at the waters edge – there are tons of toddlers here with their parents.
Bought a few more gifts and went to the small supermarket to get a few things, then back to our place to cool down. Had a lovely lunch of salad and ham buns, then had a little siesta before going down to the pool for a couple of hours. It was lovely laying out in the breeze and the water temperature was perfect.
Gray cooked a roast chicken for dinner, then we watch some greek tv we couldn’t understand, but the news showed the ship the Sea Diamond, which was the one we were meant to be on around the greek islands. They showed footage of it sinking last September. It was definitely more upmarket than the one we had, but since it is sitting on the bottom of Piraeus’ port, it wont be much good for cruising anymore!
Danni has had a great day with all the pregnant very young cats around here. They are gorgeous and feel sorry for them that they are all obviously pregnant so young and feeding off each other as well. But Pepy was telling us today that she lost her husband just in April to lung cancer, so guess she has had her hands full with his illness only being diagnosed in November. Feel very sorry for her as she is a very gentle person and these apartments were a joint effort to run I think. But she has help here with some younger women, so hopefully will go ok. She shut the place down over the winter so it hasn’t been open again long.

Missing you guys - every time I put the answerphone on I get a lurch as your voice comes forth in a brisk & breezy manner, Dins!

Hi guys
ye sit is heaven here, but more so when you are on holiday I think.
So much easier at home and in a familiar place- am trying to make myself believe this a week out form coming home!!!
Crete is the beat country we have been to for us, love it.
Have been too scared to say the heat is actually pretty over the top hot, but then we arent having to work in it either.
Want to come back here though in the near future, when we are on other travels, Gray tells everyone we will be back to europe- yay!
