Carla and I have a few hours before we fly to Crete. We go to the Plakka and shop, shop, shop. Some of the prices are very cheap. I have limited space in my bags so I’m extra picky about what I get. I don’t want to overdo it on the 1st day!
After shopping we head back to the hotel and swim/lounge by the pool. What a relaxing time!
At 5PM we head to the airport. Our flight is a little delayed and we arrive in Crete about 30 minutes late. Carla’s friend Eva is there to greet us. Her husband Manoli and kids Athony and Maria are with them. They drive us to their place about 30 minutes away.
They live in a small town called Salida (?) in a bungalow on a hill. They make us feel completely at home. Her husband has been preparing food for us. It’s almost 10PM and they bring out “dinner”. Carla and I are thinking “It’s bedtime. I’m really not hungry.” But we sit down anyway to home-made fish soup, greek salad and Mousaka. Oh my gosh this is so good. All of the food is either picked fresh from their garden or bought locally. Everything is organic. Manoli used to be a chef and he’s an excellent cook.
This is the start of pigging out…
