Today was another travelling day. We spent the morning in Chania, Laura and Lian went to a museum while I window shopped and sent emails. Nice, relaxing and exactly what I wanted. We caught the 4:30pm bus to Heraklion, a port city that is about 2 1/2 hours a way. Since it doesn't get dark here until about 9pm or so, it was really easy to take a later bus because we knew there wouldn't be a problem finding the hotel. After getting to Heraklion things got a little bit exciting though. We had originally decided to follow this itinerary: June 15 - Heraklion; June 16 - Travel to Santorini, stay there; June 17 - Day in Santorini, back to Heraklion; June 18 - Heraklion, travel to Chania; June 19 - Athens. And then we found out at the bus station that there only three seats in business class going to Santorini on the 16th and they were going to cost 45 Euro each. Aaaahh! We then had a minor catastrophe were spent time calling hotels, trying to get knew rooms so that we could change the itnerary to stay in Heraklion an extra day now and travel to Santorini and the 17th. I was not a happy camper. I was freaking out about money true, but I don't like suddenly chaning plans at the drop of a hat, and in my eyes not really asking enough questions. Anyway, everything worked out. We got the extra night in Heraklion and a new place to stay in Santorini, meaning that each of us saved about 30 Euro - which I'm sure I can find ways to spend!
Oh and by the way, I'm trying not to complain all that much, but my left ear was stuffed up all day and still is now - I can barely hear anything out of it and it doesn't make me a happy camper.
