Wednesday Day 1, CRETE

[picasaView album=’Kreta01′ directview]On Wednesday, the 20.Mai klingelte um 03:00 The alarm clock and finished my extensive sleep phase of at least 2 Hours. By a slight tension I had no time to notice, I'm not really rested. To 04:00 Clock brought me my cousin and his wife at home from. Gabi then gave us at the terminal 2 from and to 06:00 Clock rolled the TUI Boeing 737-800 to the runway.
Shortly before landing in Crete we made acquaintance with altitude winds, it said the captain at least, order to calm the passengers probably. The very jerky and blustering sideways movements were then but after 10 Minutes over again.

At the olfactory Flughafenklo received me very typical smell of chlorine. Of course, the urinals were very good view of the rest of the passengers, when the toilet door was opened.

A taxi took us to the Gazi Hotel Moevenpick Resort. Completely exhausted and tired, we tried to find something in bed sleeping.

Afternoon we ate delicious fish in a typical Greek taverna next to the hotel. The weather was very unusual for the time rather cold and very windy. The really beautiful hotel pool was completely empty and unused. A short walk along the beach was greatly reduced because of the very cool wind and very cold water. After all, we had kept our bare feet to talk to the Mediterranean. 🙂
On the very delicious and extensive dinner buffet or a nightcap at the hotel bar followed. As felled trees we fell on the bed and finally brought to the lack of sleep.

Of rest and relaxation we were as yet very far from.
