Set out bright and early this morning with Mr
Wolf for Crete's capital city Heraklion.
Well when we got there we discovered the archeology Museum was shut until August, bum we thought, so we went and had a look around the Venetian Fort in the harbour.
Back to Rythmonon for lunch. found a nice little restaurant in the old town called something like the Galeno. Well it was Dolamdes (stuffed vine leaves) for Mrs F and the Moff, Bruschetta for Mr Wolf and Tzatziki (Greek yoghurt with garlic and cucumber) for me followed by spagetti for Moff, Mousaka for Mrs F and Tavas (lamb in red wine) for Mr Wolf and I. Very nice it was too and only 103 Euros including four pints of lager, three Ouzo and lemonades, a bottle of wine, water and Greek coffees. I'd be hard pressed to find the place again as we only found it by mistake and were a bit merry by the time we left.
On into the harbour we found two pirate ships, by the name of the Barbarossa and the Captain Hook both advertising for hands, havn't these people ever heard of the good old press gang! Anyway we moved on, would not want Capt Nick to loose his cook and two leading wenches after all!
Back to the hotel for yet another eccentric selection of dishes um Stiffado and Mexican turkey about the most palatable.
Tis boiling hot hot here and will soon be looking to me hammock.
Its cold here, summer was yesterday..
