OUR PROPOSED ROUTE IN CRETE
Headed out this morning in the sun for a day trip to Agio Lake for some birding. After a few false side roads (the cafes put up erroneous signs to drag you past their business) we managed to find the lake where we spent an hour bird watching. Tough to do without a guide book, but a photographer there pointed out some eagles and then some buzzards. The lake held a few ducks, with European Grebes being the most interesting.
When it started to rain we went inside for a frappe (see pic) and a salty crepe. Delicious!
When it stopped raining we ventured down a local road through the orange groves back to the beach road. The rain fell in buckets and the waves were crashing on the beach. Luckily it was a tailwind and we pretty much sailed back to Chania. Now we‘re on our 2nd glass of wine with our wet clothes spread out all over the room.
