Yup I've officially lost track of the day, and the date. Yay me. I'm brown as a nut, (and still proud to be nutty) booked our tickets to Crete and got a hotel for 4 nights. Finally figured out how to recharge stuff in the room...and yes, we're now leaving, tee hee. Mayhaps eventually I'll catch up/figure stuff out BEFORE I go...perhaps not. Perhaps that's the meaning of this journey, learn to not only live with but actually come to revel in and enjoy the wonder of not knowing. At it's core, learn to trust. Lost my wallet for a bit today, somehow though, I knew it was lost, not stolen, just put in a pocket (travel gear comes with a ton of hidden compartments) was annoyed while I couldn't find it (mainly because I needed to pay for some stuff before we left) somehow the fear that used to yak over so quickly was much much quieter today...and it all worked out! Was in the back pocket of my bag...duh. Walked down to a black beach near the hotel, and a snack at the local taverna, I picked up trash on the way back to the hotel. Grabbed our tickets in Fira on the way to the port, and I'm currently watching a gorgeous sunset out my window seat while catching up my blog. Someone brought 2 bunnies with them, so friggin cute! They're in a bird cage in the baggage area.Crete should be an adventure...I didn't book us a transfer, (getting bolder!) might get a car at the port, unless they're asking too much. Then we'll call the hotel to find which bus we take....unless mom vetoes and requests a cab. We shall see! Looking forward to the Minoan history and ancient ruin/wreck dives on Crete. Rumor has it Zorba the Greek was filmed here, so should be a gorgeous beach. Sunset is getting very colorful, bye for now.
Alrighty then we landed around 8:45, mom voted for a cab, till we found out it would be €150, one way....we opted for a car. Just got to the hotel (it's 12:10am here) The cell only works for Internet if I'm on a network, 3G isn't an option...based on some loose directions, and a vague idea of where we were headed, I got us within walking distance of the hotel-sweet! (yeah, the number listed in the email, didn't work...not sure if it's a them or a me issue) any who, I'm exhausted...Crete is huge. Doesn't feel anymore like an island than Manhattan feels like an island. G'night for now.
