Crete...hmmm...
So we arrived in Crete on Sunday. After getting off the ferry we took a bus down south to Plaechora. We got to the bus station and were unsure what to do. All we knew was that our hostel was 7 km from the beach. Mike went inside to use the washroom and I got our bags off the bus. This very strange looking French man walked up to me and said "Canada"? And I just walked away because I just thought he was some crazy man. Turns out he owns the hostel with his wife and was there to pic us up. Aye.
We learnt very quickly that in Greece they measure distances in straight lines. So the 7 kms was really about 15kms of winding road. We got to the hostel and it was pretty scary. There were some crazy looking bugs and it was in a town with about 10 ppl for the population (Azigores).
After settling in the owner drove us down to the beach which was VERY nice. We have officialy swam in the Libyan Sea! When he picked us up he had two people from Frence coming to stay there as well. The lady had HUGE orange hair and the man was just interesting. They remind me of the nutty profressor and his wife from Gilligan's Island for some reason.
Anyway, we were suppossed to stay there for a week, but realised very quickly we would go crazy from boredom. Today we took a bus back up to Chania and then another bus to Heraklion (the capital of Crete). We are staying here for the night and then getting an early morning ferry to Ios which we here is more suited for young people.
We have tons of pictures to post, but don't have access to a computer with USB port right now. We will do so as soon as possible.
