Hi from the lovely rocky shores of southern crete.
Arrived here yesterday and taking a day to relax and get to know this rugged and beautiful island.
Staying in the lovely Matala. A small resort with a sunset beach and great restaurants and coffee shops, classy but not posh shops and very friendly people. Sat with my sis and watched a perfect sunset last night.
Feeling a bit tired today from the journey and a sleepless night filled yet again with strong dreams. had a chill by the pool and caught some rest.
The food here is amazing and a local custom appears to be FREE DESSERT! Little cakes or cheesy pastry things in honey with ice cream. Not wishing to be impolite I have allowed myself a little leaway and am enjoying.
On Friday we plan to tackle Europes longest and deepest gorge. Samaria.
Starting at 4am with a 3 hour bus journey to the north east.
Apparently it's a 4 kilometer walk down steps just to arrive at the gorge then a 4-5 hour trek to the beach where we can swim and eat. Thena boat trip back to the bus for a 21/2 drive back to Matala.
My body feels ready for it and although a bit tentative, I'm well up for it.
So while away I am gonna enjoy and may even have a bit of wine or beer if the fancy takes me. we'll see.
Will update after my big walk and tell you all how it went.
Time for a tea I think.
Peace out.
