Sorry shipmates missed a day here.

Yesterday, met Mr Wolf in Rhythemon old town where we visited the archeolgical museum and the Venetian Fort - one of the biggest on the Island. The Venetians built it to protect the island from the notorious Turkish pirate Barbarossa, but when the Turks invaded they just went round it and starved them out. The fort has a mosque built by the Turks.

Had lunch at a taverna close to the museum.

Started with a huge plate of halloumi cheese, aubergine and potato salad then stiffado (veal in wine, tomato and onion) for Mr Wolf and Moff, Charalambus special (pork, peppers, sausages on a bed of crisps) for Mrs F and I had beef and pasta, complete with drinkies 73 Euros, we were also treated to free deserts and a small flask of raki which is why I was too pissed to note the name of the restaurant.

Afternoon on the beach, water was lovely and warm and back to the hotel for Cretan night, pork souvlaki, meatballs, stiffado, cuttlefish and spuds, salads and stuff made a nice change from all the mad stuff we have been eating there so far, plus Cretan dancing and a band Bouzooki and electric piano, which did often sound a bit like a 70s prog rock band, although they did do a stonking Miserlou!

Into town for Mr Wolf's last night plenty of bars including the Rock Xtreme, with its lovely little bar maid, a bizarre Irish themed pub which was basically full of junk and the Politia bar where the waitress has an intriguing wiggle.

Then off to bed.

Today Mr Wolf's last day spent on the beach with a packed lunch from local fast food place, cheese and ham sandwich with bolognaise sauce, didn't see that one coming.

Anyway Mr Wolf left for Blighty today so farewell old pal and have a safe flight.

Roast Lamb tonight, very salty need more beer.

Goodnight shipmates
