Arriving in Plakias

Back in February Tim and Sally, landlord and landlady from the Wheatsheaf  said why don't you come over to Crete and have some cracking laughs in September ?

So I duly booked Plakias which is Sally's favourite place in the south of Crete, and he we are a day earlier than them sunning it up and ending the lovely view of the bay and the surrounding mountains. It is truly a spectacular place and the views are fantastic.  We walked to the port, some 2-3km but made out way back fairly quickly in the heat as it was getting very hot.

After having a couple of beers in a local literally waterside cafe we came back and decided as we didn't get here until gone 1am last night just to lounge around the pool.

I have to say I'm  impressed with the hotel as they put some salad and bread out for us in the room in the fridge and a complimentary bottle of water as the journey was 11+ hours all told and the transfer time is nearly 2 hours as we didn't get here till well past midnight.

So now just relaxing having a glass of wine on our terrace - Tim and sally will be here about 8pm where we will join them for either a meal or just a gin and tonic.

So I will now try to upload photos :
