Crete- Day 1

Our ferry left for Crete at 9:15pm. We came prepared with an already opened bottle of red wine, playing cards and reading material. Not much to say other than it was a long trip and we tried to sleep on the same couch. We arrived at the port near Hania around 5:30am. A bus ride later we were manuevering through the steets looking for the proper street names, lugging what seemed like an excess of baggage. A key had been hidden outside our pension so we were able to drop off our stuff and leave. We brought along a sleeping bag, some remaining pitas and a can of large white beans in tomato sauce. Chilly, we ate out breakfast from a can and watched the ocean.
We had been told that out room would be available at 10am. However- upon meeting up with the owner we discovered we had until noon. Making a quick change in a spare room we headed out to the beach. There we enjoyed a freddo cappuccino and the view. Laying in the perfect sunshine was all we needed to jumpstart out day. We returned to the pension, got our room and showered, changed, etc. We then headed down te winding alleys to find a late lunch.
Interesting to know: Crete was at times sahared and fought over between the Venetians and the Turks. As a result there are many mosques and small winding alleys.
Dinner was bread, more beans- they are actually delicious for canned food- and wine which we didn't drink as it was corked.
