Mediterannean Blue

We left home just before midnight to park on someones drive near Gatwick Airport where we've rented a space for four weeks. Loads cheaper than on site parking and just a few pounds for a taxi to check in the three hours before our 7am flight to Crete.

The blipfoto shows the plane banking to the right to land at Heraklion Airport. In it is the Crete coastline and beautiful blue Mediterannean sea and light. We soon collected our hire car for the month from Auto Reisen whom we've used many times.  Highly recommended.

Early afternoon we checked into the same room we had last year for a month. Knowing the village means we can settle in straight away. Our friends join us next week and I'll be able to watch the World Cup matches in the sun!
