Today berthed in Iraklion, on Crete quite near the main town, the
port providing a shuttle bus to the port gate, we were in the commercial port
and they don't allow pedestrians. Looked
at the HOHO buses but elected to just walk into town, felt like a proper
holiday place, full of tourists, shops full of clutter and a harbour full of
fishing boats. Had our first Gelato of
this holiday from an Italian in a Greek town.
All sorts of remains from the time of the Venetians
including a fine fortress and city walls.
For our afternoon delight the locals were using an empty
part of the port to roar round in their souped up cars, very noisily and
without any obvious purpose.
After dinner this evening's entertainment were a four piece
male harmony group called the Troubadours, which we had seen on a previous
cruise and they were again very good.
Got back to our stateroom and found we had been personally
invited by Captain Aseem Hashmi to a World Club Party (along with a couple of
thousand others!)
