Day 11- Crete


Greetings from Crete! We arrived after a very very long trip. Yesterday we just wandered around the village of Firostefani and layed by our pool before we had to leave Santorini. We then took the terrifying trip down the cliff back to the port to our ferry. The port we sailed into in Crete was Iraklio- which is not very nice. Just looks like a big city. We found the bus station and had to wait an hour to get to Chania. Our bus then took 2 1/2 hours- we didn't get into Chania until after 11:30pm. Then being the organized travellers that we are we had nothing booked. We met a nice couple on the bus and we ended up sharing a cab with them and following them to their hotel. It's just on the outskirts of Chania in a beach town- our resort is gorgeous. But the rest of the island to date has been less than spectacular- mom thinks it looks like Cuba. Albeit a much richer Cuba in my opinion. Everyone went on and on about how gorgeous this place is- I hope I see it soon!

Chania - my favourite city on Crete!!!! You MUST go to dinner or lunch at Tammam. Seriously - the food is unbelievable! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
