We tried to eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant, but they were being really slow, so we went to one of the stands and had some decent food. Stopped by the archaeological museum and saw lots of old pots. Met a cute little mangy dog outside the museum that crawled onto my lap and licked my face. I wanted to keep him. Caught the bus to Iraklion. Nice bus with TVs and all, but the windy roads through the mountain forced us to stop so that people could get out and puke.

Iraklion looked like a hell hole when we first pulled up. A cab took us through these dirty alleys on the way to the hotel, but it ended up being a diamond in the ruff. Marble staircases, fancy dining room, etc. The streets here are like a maze. We weaved our way to a restaurant recommended by the hotel and had one of the best meals yet. The shopping district has about as many cafes as people; and there are a ton of people.

The weather has been great. Cool in the shade, warm in the sun. We have spent hours just sitting outside a cafe, drinking frappes and watching the people.
