Some of our group took a rest day
Relaxing on the ship
Those who went to Mykonos said it was beautuful
Very easy to access and no crowds
A welcome contrast to our trip to Santorini
Those who stayed on board had a stress free day in the solarium
I decided not to follow the news today
Sometimes its best not to know about things which you cannot influence
We had a fabulous dinner followed by excellent entertainment in the theatre
More fun to come
Our first stop in Crete
A bus ride from the port into town
Bustling with tourists
We walked down to the old port
Found a cafe
Settled down for some people watching
Lots of folks shopping
Buying souvenirs and clothing
We only purchased edible souvenirs
Everybody taking selfies
Strangers stopping and offering to take group photos
Tourists do the same things all over the world
We explored the 14th-century Venetian harbor
Surrounded by narrow streets and waterfront restaurants
At the harbor entrance is a 16th-century lighthouse with Venetian, Egyptian and Ottoman influences
We stopped to take selfies
A stranger offered to take a photo of our group
We wandered back through the narrow streets
Took the bus back to the port
Back onboard our floating hotel
We had survived our first land encounter
We ate all our souvenirs
