The day after the race, we left Athens and headed to Crete for a couple of days. We were so exhausted. We actually didn't go to bed the night. We had gone to dinner with our friends and were up late and didn't realize how early we needed to leave in the morning. So by the time we packed up our stuff, it was pretty much time to leave for the airport!
We got to Crete, went to a hotel...and slept! We were going to just take a 1 hour power nap. But it turned into a 4 or 5 hour nap!! We got up in time to watch the sun go down.
We spent 2 nights in Chania. That's it. We explored Chania and just relaxed. It was a wonderful couple of days.
Our first night there after sleeping away the day...we just walked around and looked for a place to eat. We ended up being offered lots of free drinks in hopes that we would stay for dinner or attract other tourists.. Here we are with some free Orange Juice...
We wondered around some more and met this nice guy at a little store..
He was showing us the good honey and things should buy in Greece. Then he asked us where we were staying. And when we told him, he said that we should stay at his place. He had rooms above his store that he would rent out. He showed us the room and it was much nicer and cheaper than the hotel we were at. So, the next day we moved to his hotel.
We got up the next morning and after moving our stuff to his hotel, we went for a run! It was SO beautiful!
Just look at that incredible blue sky! Such a gorgeous day. We ended up getting into the water for a little swim break during our run!
After the run we did more walking around...
And exploring...
And even got back in the water.....
And ate some more good food!!
It was just a perfect couple of relaxing days! After crete...we got back on the plane to head to TURKEY!!!!!
