Sunday in Crete - where everything's closed except the internet

Location

Heraklion, CR
Greece

It''s a bit of a slow day today. All the locals are off at church and I can''t find a single thing to do except surf the net. The rest has come just in time though. After partying non-stop every night for about a month I think my liver has just about had it.

After Germany Alex, Mike, Brad and I headed to Ios for a week of drinking, dancing and drowning ourselves in the ocean. Another highlight was hiring a 4WD Jeep for a day and throwing it all over the rockiest hills in Ios. If anyone is thinking of heading to the Greek Islands be sure to check out Ios, have a meal at Ali Baba''s and then Satisfaction for a few cocktails. On the other hand if you are thinking of taking the whole family, you''re probably better off sticking to Santorini.

I arrived in Crete the other day. The people here are so friendly and everyone''s English is exceptional so I haven''t run into any problems. In the next few days I''ll be moving around a bit and finding out what Crete has to offer in the way of culture and natural beauty.

Cheers, Pete.
