Knossos

We went to the Heraklion Museum in the morning. There were amazing figurines, rhytons, frescoes and the weirdly flashy Minoan pottery. We found the Olympic Airways office and asked about the procedures for flying home earlier.

Surely I can’t be morning sick all day and night and have headaches. Went to the museum and I staggered around – really felt terrible. Leon began talking of home and catching an earlier plane. Surely I’ll get better! Had some Panadol and caught a bus to Knossos. It was peaceful and quiet and it was nice to take ourselves around.

Inevitably Lyn enjoyed catching the bus more than Knossos itself...

The oldest road in Europe

The crowds of young people in Heraklion celebrated New Years Eve that night by beating all and sundry with long thin balloons.
