Sunrise on the way to Iraklion was special to see as was watching the pilot boat guide us to our mooring.
My least favorite city on the tour. Not that it didn’t have some interesting views and history, but on our open air buss trip they were few and far between so you were mostly driving through a modern city with occasional points of interest.
Then we began the walking tour, for me who has become a very slow walker it was fast paced and I was always hurting to catch up. Here again it seemed like a lot of walking and not a lot to see. We were then given a couple of hours free time and directions on how to find our way back.
I needed to catch the shuttle bus across from a plaza that had about 6-8 stairs all around it. I must have stood there for 15 minutes wondering how I was going to get down those stairs. I finally snagged a passerby, I was waiting for tall, dark and handsome, but settled for a pleasant young woman to assist. My hiking poles have rendered themselves useless. They are defective and will not tighten up at the joints.
Quite disappointing.
