Writing, fatshion, me: Trip to Crete

And so, to the last full day oh our holiday and a bit about travelling home. We were down by the pool sunbathing by 11am so I'm not sure if we had breakfast or not. Probably not. Hmm, but we must have gone up for lunch. No photos, anyway. My next photo is at 4pm when one of the adult cats we had been seeing around came to sit on Lee's sunbed, which was cute. I do know that during the day we finally got properly into the main pool. I said we had to just to say that we had. There were two slides into it so we went down one each which plunged us straight into the water. It was COLD. We did NOT stay in there for very long. But at least we did get in!

We didn't leave the pool until nearly 6pm, and I took a photo of the view for the last time, with the sun just starting to set over the peninsula. Then we walked to look at the cats for one last time. I don't think we saw them all but we did see the little grey mama cat and I looked at all the flowers in the gardens and took a picture of this orange one.

We got showered and went down to the bar first of all, where I had some kind of cocktail or another which was nice, and then we went down for something to eat. We then went across to the amphitheatre because the entertainment that night was Greek dancing and I wanted to see it. There were quite a lot of people watching it, so there was a nice atmosphere. There were three men playing traditional music, which sounded really good. There were four dancers and first of all they did Cretan dancing and then they had a little break and came back to do some Greek dancing. They were all really good and I enjoyed seeing them. Lee wasn't as bothered but he came with me anyway.

As we walked back to the main hotel we met yet another cat, who miaowed a lot at us, it was very sweet. We had a last drink in the bar before heading back to the room to pack.

In the morning, though, we didn't have to rush. We were told our pick up would be between ten and 10.30 so we knew we had plenty of time. I got up about 8 I think and took my final view pictures which is one of the pleasures of having a balcony, and then we headed down to breakfast. We knew we wouldn't be eating for a while so we had plenty to eat. Then we went and got all our stuff and checked out, and then went outside. We actually got picked up at about ten to ten, so it was just as well we were already waiting. We were in the minibus with two other people and then picked up three others I think, so not many of us. We got to the airport in very quick time and a Jet2 employee got us to the front of the queue and told us how to bypass other queues, which was great for my accessibility. We got through security and spent our last few euros on some Pringles in the airport.

The flight was fine. There was no one sitting next to Lee so we could spread out and have a seat between us for extra room. He was mostly asleep but I read my book and listened to a bunch of things I had downloaded. We landed, got our suitcases, and finally found the car. It was rush hour by this time which was annoying, but we stopped and Tesco halfway home to get some supplies, which helped. We were so glad to get home to the cats, though.

A bit of a different holiday for us because we just didn't do much at all. It was what we needed, though.
