Back to Crete

So the ferry arrived on time and we fell asleep under some chairs for a few hours on top of the engine it felt like as the whole floor kept vibrating and woke up back in Crete at 5.30am. Drove to Sissi at the east end of the island and checked into a campsite there and first thing I did was fall over and re-cut open my whole toe again!

So tired and toe less we set up camp again and met a Belgian man from Ghent who told us not to go to Albania for many reasons. The next day we set off for Agia Galini in the South and checked into the campsite for 2 nights. Spent a day hobbling about the pool and beach and then the second day hobbled to Matala a hippy town which had lots of roman tombs in the cliffs which you could climb around and sit in.

Swam in the gorgeous sea and watched children jumping off the high cliffs. On the way back to camp we went to Phaestos (ancient Minoan ruins) where there were lots of rocks but which was harder to see as it used to be than Pompeii. Knossos and the Samaria Gorge we decided wasn't going to happen because I couldn't walk again.

Left Agi Galini for Chania camping the next day and booked in for 2 nights got a brilliant pitch with a plug!! A Father Christmas lookalike was in a tent/grotto to our right and a Peter Andre lookalike was on our left. Father Christmas kept looking at us probably because we kept staring at him. In the evening we watched a dvd on a blanket outside under the stars thanks to the plug socket.

Mat Stat - Mat beat his personal record whilst camping to get bitten 48 times by mozzies.
