Greece

Thursday We decided to get a rental car for a couple of days. There were a few folks that went to a water park, not too far from our location yesterday. I tried to connect with them to get a ride but that didn’t happen. We asked at the front desk at the hotel and they suggested a company that would drop a car off for us. As promised, at 10:00 they arrived with a car and within a few minutes, Deanna had some keys and we’re ready to go.

Sunday We awoke and went for breakfast at our hotel. It was quite a spread with pretty much anything one could want. Deanna bought some postcards to send home to the nieces and nephew. We attempted to take the bus to Kolymvari which is where our original hotel (and the conference was being held). There was a schedule posted in the lobby of the hotel but after waiting for a bit and having what looked like one bus pass us by without stopping, we opted to take a cab.

Saturday Today we travelled from Germany to Crete. It was a fairly painless trip but having had local folks take care of us for the first part of the week was a bit jarring to have to figure out travel plans from Stuttgart central to the airport. It turns out not to be a big deal, but a few hints: Tickets to the airport from the central station can only be purchased from the ticket machines.
