Crete

So, Crete was awesome when we finally got there... we stayed in a small little town on the south coast where many people from all over the world live... there is tons of Germans, and Brits, and like Macedonians... ya, it's a great little town and we had tons of fun... just wish we could've stayed longer!

The beautiful Plakias beach.

Enjoying our cool little south-
coast town.

A view of the beach and the
town.

The beaches were soooo pretty!!!

And there were gorgeous
flowers...

:)

Climbing a mountain to leave
that beach...

to get to this one!

Beautiful!

Me and Aman enjoying the water.

Having a swim!

Sandy feet!

Walking down to the pretty
little beach!

Freakin' Greece!!!! I love
this photo.

Ya... the fun little thing
about Greece is that you
can't put the tp in the toilet
because the tubes will plug...
fun times!

Burnt, and drinking Raki (the
local Plakias tastes-like-fuel
alcohol, that is used in a variety
of ways... including to wipe the
tables clean in the restaurants!!)
Yum... drink up! Yamos!

Driving through the mountains!

the fun times in Iraklia...

So, Iraklia, as we later learned is a 19 sq km hole of an island in the Minor Cyclades in Greece... ya, it's small considering Crete is well over 8000 sq km... haha, that was fun. So yes, these are photos we took from the hours of 1:30 am-8:00 am when we camped outside on this tiny little island!

Enjoying the ferry ride from
Piraeus to Iraklia...

At the beautiful sunset.

My gear for the night...

and I still froze!

Amanda, Maria and I... looking

very sad... and scared because
the coyotes were very scary.

The sunrise! :O

A classic little Greek house!

The water was such gorgeous!

Athens!

Welcome to Greece!

The famous street meat
market... mmm, it smelled lovely.

Greek food owns the world!

We were quite happy to be
eating true Greek cuisine!

Crazy crazy language...

Up at the Acropolis.

One of the amazing views from
up top the mountain at the
Acropolis site.

Pretty archaelogical park.

Me and the 6 women... apparently
it's very important.

Enjoying the Acropolis.

More...

Truly enjoying the sunshine
and the view.

More.. ya it was amazing.

An old stadium at the Acropolis
site... pretty cool.

Me and Aman loving
the palm tree.

On the mountain!

Smile.

Ancient Greece.

More Greek architecture.

Before we climbed the mountain.

Oh Starbucks... how I missed thee.

Greek scares me... I
thought we were going
to starve.

Me and Mar with this
church (I think).

We got yelled at for this.

Just chillin'

An archaelogical site right near
our favorite shopping area.

Hanging out.

The streets of Athens.
