My Travel Adventures

On our second full day in Crete, my mum, my sister, and I drove to Chania. The agenda for the day was to briefly walk around the town and then find a beach somewhere nearby. The former was the easier part of the plan. We parked the car in the south and, after figuring out the parking payment system, walked north into the centre of town.

I made my latest journey in the company of my mum and one of my sisters. For this reason – and because the daily temperatures have consistently risen into the high thirties – my trips have been much more leisurely than usual. We arrived in Crete on the evening of the 22 nd after an eventful journey. Our flight was delayed by almost two hours: first because a problem had to be fixed on our aircraft, and then because our plane missed our departure window and had to wait for another hour. In the meantime, a storm brewed up somewhere above southeastern Europe, and we flew straight into it for a bumpy flight.
