The last few days have been absolutely lovely. We have gotten into a routine of waking after 10:00 and wandering across the street to the beach to jump waves and build sandcastles. Then after lunch we go to one of the four pools on the resort and clean off the salt from the ocean. Afterwards, we have an ice cream and then try to have a bit of a rest out of the sun...the girls try to watch the animal tv shows in Greek and we just relax for a couple of hours before we go out again.We've adopted the Greek lifestyle of eating dinner at around 9:00 and then going out for a "volta". The nightlife doesn't get started until around 10:00 - 11:00 ish, but we're usually back home by 11:00...it's not the girls who want to go to bed, more like we're wiped out.
Today we went to the Rethymno fortress ruins and wandered through the churches, mosques, caves, etc...the ruins and views were amazing! The girls had a blast pretending to be explorers from the Medieval Times.
Oliver loves driving in Greece, especially dealing with the drivers who stradle the different lines and then drive up on the shoulder and sidewalk! Tonight the girls had a go at driving like the Greeks as they had fun with Eurocars and the driving track
at a local fun park.
Tomorrow's our last full day here as we are planning on leaving for Heraklion on Thursday.
