23.03.2002 - 30.03.2002
On this trip we travelled with Jorunn's sister on a short Easter trip to Crete. We arrived early and decided to rent a car and drive to the other side of the island to get away from all the tourists. We were hoping that it be warm as it had been a cold winter but this was not to be for as we drove over the pass there was snow and it was not very warm at all. We stopped in a small village on the way and had an excellent lunch, then we continued on our way to Paleohora where we were staying.
We walked a bit and decided to stay at a family home that looked OK, sad to say this did not work out too well as that night there was storm and there were no window in the bath room so the rooms were cold and not too comfortable. Now to make things worse there was no hot water as they used solar heating! Time to move! We found a comfortable hotel nearby and relaxed on the beach for a while (still cold and windy) then explored the town where we spent our evenings eating, drinnking and playing backgammon. We drove a fair bit to see the south western side of the island before we drove back to Chania.
