Bye bye Heraklion chocolate waffles

Today we

• Got up early
• Took a bus to Chania, Crete
• Got thoroughly lost
• Arrived at our top notch brilliant apartment
• Walked into town
• Found and ate the best baklava my family and I have ever had
• Went back and fell asleep

 

We ate:

• Buffet breakfast
• Cashews
• Baklava
• Amazing beachside lunch / dinner thing

 

Hello y'all

Friends, family, cats and kittens (especially cats and kittens)

 

Started of the day in a thorougly good mood until I realised that were leaving to Chania today and therefore leaving my free chocolate waffles [ sob ] these aren't, however, your run of the mill waffles, oh no, these are your extra premium high quality ultra double chocolate blackmailing mum ticket.

For example

mum: Zoe, why don't we walk that 16 km gorge walk today

Zoe : no

mum: why not

Zoe: (deliberately ignoring question) tell you what, if we don't walk the gorge today I'll give you my chocolate waffle tomorrow

mum: (instantly) deal!

Mum doesn't realise that if all else fails I can still use the diet coke bargaining trick.Sweeeeeeeet

Mum's weakness

 

Lesson one of a three hour bus trip to Channia: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GIVE DREW SUGER WITH IN 1 HOUR OF DEPARTING OR EMBARKING

whoops...

lesson two: OR ZOE FOR THAT MATTER

Sunscreen moustache

[banging head repeatedly] SO [bang] WITLESS [bang]

 

 

Double whoops

Finally the sugar rush was depleted leaving me and drew completely exhausted as we bent our heads and trudged out of town we got caught up in this: a fight for....CYPRIOT FREEDOM !!!

Me and the protestors

As we were walking back ( Ellen this photo is for you ) I saw this!

When we were thoroughly spent we decided to have dinner on the waterfront. Lets just say I don't like calimari any more:

 

The reason these public eyesores are hanging here is because this is how they dry octopuses. They soak them in vinegar so the cats won't eat them and the flies won't touch them. Then after a couple of days drying, they haul them in and BBQ them on high heat turning them rapidly. The outside is crispy and the inside is soft.

I didn't realise Greek food was so good until I tried it (not the Octopus). Very calming stuff especially when you're eating it In the calmest and oldest harbour in the Mediterranean.

Any way I think y'all find that that concludes today

See ya round

Wait I'm in Europe sorry

See ya then

Zoe
