We have a few hours today to do our last bit of shopping in Crete before we start the journey home. Carla and I make our way to the market.
We both pick up a few things. I finally find what I was looking for. I buy a sleeveless shirt for myself with the Greek pattern along the bottom. I pick up some t-shirts and baseball caps for the boys.
We have lunch back at our hotel and spend an hour or so at the pool cooling off. It’s a small indoor pool with a very small outdoor patio. We manage to take in some sun before we leave. We keep checking the web and it seems like it’s going to be cloudy and raining when we get back to Ottawa.
We head to the airport for our flight to Athens. The airport is crowded and people are smoking everywhere. The air is thick. There are no smoking signs but no one seems to pay attention. Finally our flight is ready and we head to Athens.
We are staying at the Sofitel next to the Athens airport. We are pleseantly surprised by the hotel. It is the nicest hotel we’ve stayed in. Too bad we only have a few hours there and can’t take advantage of most of it.
We have dinner at the hotel restaurant and head to bed. It’s going to be an early day. I have to get up at 4:00 AM.
