EuroFest Day 4 - Crete at Sunset



This is a panorama picture of Chania - Greece -  from our balcony on Tuesday night. At sunset - the lights on restaurant row are flickering on. The picture is distorted so you can see the windows to the left and right of me - although it is a flat wall.

We leave here on Sunday - August 27th - for our one month stay near Frankfort - Germany.

On Thursday we plan to rent a car and drive to Heraklion - the capital of Crete.

We bought SIM cards for our iPhones here. 10 euros got us a week of phone service and 3 GB of data. It would have been less but there is a startup fee of 7 euros. The second week would only be 3 euros.

Greece is the first country I have visited that most signs are in a different language with a different alphabet. Many other countries do their main signs in English - not here. It is so good having the iphone for maps and internet searching on the fly. There are no uber cabs here - so we walked 7 miles yesterday.

I got a good night of sleep from midnight to 9 AM.

Crete was a great place to start our 70 day adventure. From here - all flights are local - and we are adjusting to the time nicely. The house is really a luxurious pleasure. As I type at the kitchen table - the housekeepers are working around me.

I will post a video of our house - mansion - flat - condo - apartment - whatever you call it.



I love this 3 wheel scooter - 2 people.
You feet never touch the ground.
