Chania on Crete

Hello, I am still writing about that cruise we took at the beginning of November. I can remember many things, but some things have faded. Because of strong winds, we could not reach port on the planned side on Crete. It then became difficult to go on the scheduled excursion. Some of our group were quite disappointed. I was not so much because I did not really know much about it. We did get our money refunded as a ship’s credit because we had had to pay for that excursion. Instead, we had a walking tour of the city of Chania which none of us knew before. It was an interesting substitution during which we learned that Titus was the first bishop. There was some time for shopping and Leroy bought a nice leather belt. He is now sorry that he did not buy two of them. It was a good price and well made. We had planned to do two excursions. We had been a bit concerned about getting back in time from the first to make the second trip. It is amazing how many things just work out for the best. It gave us an amount of free time because of the change. There was time to play some games, visit, look over the schedule for the next day, take a nap, read, or just sit and think. Each day, Leroy had some gelato for dessert. He enjoyed it.
