Just back from a holiday blobbing in Crete. Hotel was excellent – especially selected by Katherine who has previous on it. Right on the beach. Clear skies and sun all day except the last when, boy did it rain. We were totally soaked when we had to drag our bags through a river to get to the coach to get home.
Did the Samaria gorge. Guide book rates it as ‘strenuous’. I was barely able to walk the next day and it took 3 days intensive rest (with extensive alcoholic treatment) before I was back to normal. Clearly a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.
