We are currently in Chania (hania) which is about 45 minutes west of Rethymno, which is where we are staying. (Pictures will be posted-- currently we are having problems with the computer.) In each town, we have been visiting the "old town" area, and we must continually exclaim to each other, " . . . wow, look at those old buildings, the narrow streets, the stone walls, etc., . . ." We just entered Hania, the old town, and found this internet cafe, two euros for 60 minutes-- average price. It is 2p.m. We left Rethmno around 10a.m. and since then traveled to Aptera, which is an old town next to Hania. While there we saw the Roman baths, theater, huge cisterns, a monastery, incredible history. While on the walking tour, we also saw some old ruins where German soldiers had set up there machine guns in the old stone walls. We saw a Turkish fort, which is a reminder of the multiple nationalities that have been part of Crete, over the ages. We wish you could see what we see; we consider it a real privilege to be here. We need to schedule a ferry to mainland Greece; the girls are out shopping in Old Town Hania, they will be back in about 50 minutes.
