Crete!

Tuesday morning we had to get up really early to get to the train that took us to ... not Heathrow Airport.  I forget the name.  But it was really nice. i pictured some tiny little backwater airport but this one was all new and shiny.  to get to the planes they make you walk through all these stores.

the flight to crete was nice but it was on one of those carriers where they charge you for everything, even drinks.  Mmm delicious tap water.

a driver was waiting for us at the airport (that's pretty cool) and we were taken to our resort.

Knossos beach resort is really cool.  We have a nice new room overlooking the ocean.  the bathroom is kind of weird. it's separated from the main room by a glass wall, and there's a curtain you can use to cover the glass wall.  why would anyone not want the curtain?  Like what's the selling point of watching everything going on in the bathroom?

we spent some time on the beach, then took a walk to buy some groceries and get some money from atm.   i love the names of products in other countries (a cereal called choco balls).  we bought a big bottle of water to use in the room because the tap water is "not potable" (uh oh), and i lugged it back to the hotel to show off my manliness.

the computer here has bizarre issues.  Sometimes the caps key works and sometimes it doesn't.  if i type captial i then space, if i do it fast enough, the i comes after the space.  i feel ashamed writing a post with bad caps but i am too lazy to fix it right now.
