Good afternoon from Crete folks. Hope you're all well. Sorry for not posting for a while but we've been having so much fun with our visitors that I forgot to write!
So here's an update followed by some more lovely Greek eye candy...
Monday: As soon as Mike touched down on Cretan soil, his first thought was, 'MEAT'! So on Monday we went to some local supermarkets and the Greek-speaking only butchers in town where Mike managed to have a full conversation with the butcher even though neither spoke the other's language - bonding over meat, eh?! Then Mike proceeded to cook a fantastic meal and he let me be his trainee potato chef. We also went to the 'secret beach' and jumped in the waves (well, I did, until I saw two of the tiniest fish ever and then I jumped out and ran for my life up the beach...)
Tuesday: Mary and Mike tackled the walk into town and totally breezed it - fit as fleas they are!
Wednesday: We took a day trip to Sitia and had a big stroll up to the old fortress on the top of a very steep hill. We watched fish in the harbour, had a couple of drinks in seafront bars, looked at the fruit and veg and fish markets and then came back to the apartments for a swim. Mike got in a fight with a lilo and then we went out to Zorbas for a traditional Greek meal. The guys in Zorbas put on their usual excellent show of Greek dancing and even managed to drag Mary mouse up for a spin round the room - she was very good!
Thursday: M&M went to the beach for the day but poor Matt has an ear infection from the pool so he stayed at home.
Lovely lovely pork for tea and I was potato chef again!
Friday: Matt went to a very traditional and stern Greek doctor about his ear who was very thorough and gave him a bag full of lotions and potions to take for it - why can't they all be like that?!
And as I write this, M&M still have not returned from their two hour gorge walk that they set off for 4 and a half hours ago...so I'll keep you posted!!!
And as promised, some pics - enjoy :)
