Chania

I slept well last night and didn't wait until after 8:00. After a coffee in the room I went for a run and by the time I came back Ed was at and showered.

After I'd cooled down a bit and had a shower we headed downstairs for a lovely breakfast overlooking the harbour.

There was still no update on Ed's bag although we were expecting it to be arriving in the morning. We decided that we would take a short drive along to a place about 2 miles away called Halepa where the archaeological museum of Crete is located. We spent about an hour wandering around the exhibits... Lots of pots and other artefacts!

We also drove through a street on the way back where there are old tanneries. Once we each parked up we headed back to the hotel and reassessed our position given that the bag had still not arrived.

After a quick beer stop we took a short walk around the old town, still waiting for news on the bag. Eventually at around 2:00 p.m. we were told that the delivery service was close and so we met a man in a van on the street corner where Ed was reunited with his bag!

After Ed had got himself sorted we went for a wander, first along the harbour and around to walk along the narrow strip of land is where the lighthouse is. The walkway above was much narrower and rather precarious but we made it to the lighthouse and we're able to see the view back towards the harbour area.

We retraced our steps to the old harbour and had a beer and considered our next move. From here we went and walked around the old city having drapes on the way for a drink overlooking the harbour and then back to our room or a shower and refresh whilst having a glass of rose overlooking the sunset.

We decided not to stray far this evening and had food at Lithos, the restaurant below our room. We then spent time just sitting on the balcony watching the crowds, playing cards before it was time for bed.Meer informatie
