Crete, Greece

We've just returned from a week in the sun on the Greek Island of Crete. Julie and I flew 4 hours from London Gatwick to Crete's Heraklion Airport for our first trip to Greece. Another hour on a bus got us to the Aquis Slva Beach 5 star Hotel in Hersonissos. After changing rooms once we got an ok room with a beautiful beach front view. A 5 star resort here might rate a 3 1/2 star where I come from, but we were still satisfied with the property. This was an all inclusive holiday with flight, room, food and drinks included. After 5 days in the mess hall we did get tired of the food and dined out our last 2 nights. The meat was mostly cooked with curry and cumin spices which we got tired of, so I kinda missed the slop that I usually cook. We got right into the action with an evening show of traditional Greek music and dancing. And it never fails, as usual we are the first to get drug onto stage as part of the act. The next thing I know we are at the head of some form of the 'Greek bunny hop' with about 60 people behind us. Too much fun!
