This was one of the perks. Job overseas to see the world. The not knowing if we could get on the plane was aggravating. We sign up, pack, arrive at the airport an hour ahead, wait in line, then we find out if there is room on the flight. I was prepared not to go. Set for disappointment made the wait less stressful. With our large family, this is the way we will travel. Lots of question marks and fingers crossed. But we made it off the rock!
Well we went from one island to another. But what an island!
Crete is very beautiful. There is a lot of graffiti and trash, but I think because its vacation, it was still pretty. The graffiti looks smart because its in Greek and I didn't have a clue. I'll just pretend it was all about global warming and going green.
The third day, we went for a drive in the mountains in our 9 passenger Fiat with Pat and Sam Hood also from Lajes. We made it through the mountains to see the gorge (largest in Europe) and after a stop for snacks, got a flat tire on the way down. The edges of the roads were cliffs without guard rails. If there had been any drama with it, I would have thrown-up.
We were way up in the air. The goats were jumping from cliff to cliff. But Randy found a flat area without any problem and Sam changed the flat in record time for us to continue on our adventure.
They bury their dead above ground with personal memorabilia showing. This one must have been fond of doing dishes in life.
One stand out view is the water. The ocean is bright tourquiose along the shore. Gorgeous!
On the last day the sun was shining so bright we tried out a beach. The sand was soft and covered with tiny shells, but the water was ice. Only the crazy got in. And we all know who that wasn't (the photographer, duh).
Our spring break was fantastic! I can't wait for our next adventure.
