“Bravo!” boomed the bus driver, pleased with our ability to
board the bus and seat ourselves without incident. As the bus started traveling
along the coastline from Heraklion to Rethymno, I tried to enjoy the view but
my first glimpses of Crete were through eyes that could barely stay open. I had
been awake 25 solid hours at that point with no end in sight. In Rethymno, I
caught another bus to Plakias and met a couple of travelers headed to my
hostel. The office was closed so we dropped our bags and headed to the seaside.
After dipping our feet in, we relaxed at a restaurant and ordered fresh
anchovies and a Greek version of what was essentially mixed mezze. Deliciousness. Back at the hostel, I immediately
showered and went to bed, sleeping for 12 solid hours.
