Crete!!

Holy sorry for the long time without an update! We've been busy since we landed on Crete and this hotel doesn't have internet access in the room can you belive it?!! Ah well, more reading.

First of all it's been fantastic here and we've done so much that we're going to do back order updates since we can't cram all of it in just one update!

The beginning of our trip was interesting. First off, apparently I'm nerotic when it comes to reaching our destination on time and in one piece! The things you find out about yourself when you're travelling. I was stressed out because we arrived at night and we had a long bus to take from Iraklio to Hersonissos and he didn't have a clue where in Hersonissos this hotel we were staying at was, we were counting on a Taxi once we reached it.

So lets start with the bus! The kid loading our luggage was trying to get us to put our backpacks on the bus as well as the suitcases we had, which was a first time ever on this trip that we were being not only asked but demanded to put these below. First of all we had all our memory cards and cameras and exsessories in there for them so I'm thinking over my cold dead body are these leaving my sight. So Bonnie and I refused to leave them and he said that the "Busdriver demands it!!" So when he left we asked the busdriver and he said "Ok take them on the bus." So we did. But that wasn't the last we heard from the kid, he was the ticket ripper also on the bus (the guy who hands out and sells tickets once you're on there and rips them if you already have one) anyhow, so he comes down the aisle to rip our tickets and sees we still have our bags! This did not make ticketripper happy so he's all like "What is that!?" We said the busdriver said it was ok so he runs down the aisle back to the busdriver and says something and the busdriver says something to him and he's doesn't talk much to us after that.

When we arrived in Hersonissos we were like "Oh god, where in the hell are we?!" There were drunk 20 something guys and gals staggering all over the place and the street was hopping with music and cars and busses and people of all sorts. Luckily we found out from the cabby that we were staying just up the hill from the town which is much more quiet and quaint.

So our hotel here is awesome and big and we make our own breakfasts and coffee, but the coffee I'm finding in greece isn't so good as in Italy so when I get home I'm having the biggest cup of joe that a barista will make me!

So anyhow, we made it here safe everything is fine and we'll update again with what we did next as soon as we can.
