We laughed for literally 20 minutes after seeing our sleeping compartment on the boat. Yeah, it was that small. Us and our suitcases barely fit. It is smaller than my parent's closet. Most of our time was spent in the lounge. Emily tried hard and won her battle against sea sickness. Dinner was horrific. We opted for the first class dinner instead of self serve. Big mistake. Emily and Shannon got Greek salad. I got spaghetti. We ate bread.

We got to Sitia around noon and spent most of the day wondering around this amazing little town. It is so beautiful. Just like a post card. Plus, there are about 30 restaurant in a row next to the beach. My kind of place!

Finding the hotel was quite an experience. We got a cab ride from a guy who spent 20 years in the US. He took us to the Krystal Hotel, owned by his friend. They gave us a great rate (30 euros a night) but we ended up staying at the Itanos Hotel, because it was much nicer and only a bit more expensive. After checking in, we walked around and stumbled across a funny little park with a crazy spinning ride. Shannon and I decided that the ride would cure our sea legs. Boy were we wrong. It ended up just making us more dizzy. So we tried spinning the other way, but that didn't work either.

We had a great lunch at the hotel's restaurant (on the beach). Walked around some more and played with the town's wild dogs. Like Athens, the dogs are everywhere! And they're all very friendly. This female yellow lab followed us around for a while. We tried to feed her strawberries, but she wasn't into it. Instead she clawed through a fishing net looking for food. I wanted to let her sleep in our hotel room, but I was out voted.
