26/08/2018

Waking up around 2:50 am was tough. But the flight was already at 6:00 am. I took the train to the airport at 4:00 am. I met my brother Chris at 4:15 am at the airport. After all the boarding procedure the flight took off at 6:10 am. It was a calm flight. 2.5 hours later we were already above the Mediterranean Sea. We started the approach to Heraklion at 10:10 am. We arrived at 10:30 am local time.

Around 11:20 am we left for the Poseidon Hotel. We arrived at 11:45 am. We unpacked and settled in first. Then we took a look around. It is really a nice hotel situated in a great environment. Since we were already outside of the tourist season, everybody got a triple room. So plenty of space.

It was time for lunch. We went to the Caravel beach restaurant at the Yianna Hotel. We treated ourselves to meatballs with country-style potatoes and yogurt dip. And of course, cola.

Afterwards we had curd with cherries and raki on the house.
Now we were ready again.
