| This was a interesting plane, we were able to load on both front and back! It seem to load people faster, not sure if make any difference or not! I won't be surprise if I see this happen in the States! |

 |
| This is interesting item we will see everywhere in Crete. This is called Shrine, next to the roads are memorials for people killed in a car accident, at the same spot where the accident happened. The family of the deceased construct and maintain them. They contain a photo of the deceased, some religious objects and a lit candle or lamp. |
 |
| There were many churches like this everywhere in Athens, Hydra, and Crete. |
 |
| Day before we left Greece, we hiked the Samaria Gorge which is known for it is the longest gorge in Europe, with a length of 18 kilometres and toughest hike I've ever been on! It took us about 5-6 hours to finish the hike. This was one of my FAVORITE activity I've done in Greece and will never forget this extraordinary experience!!! |
 |
| This morning view takes my breath away! |
 |
| The beginning of our hike |
 |
| Zillions of Carins! |
 |
| even more of them!! |
 |
| There were spring water stops where we can refill our water bottles and bathroom. |
 |
| Yup we had to hike through this! |
 |
| Ahh finally we made to the Libyan Sea!!!! |
 |
| The beach wasn't that great, there weren't sand it was all HOT pebbles! However, I took a dip in the water to cool off and give my feet a nice treatment cuz had 4 BAD blisters! |
 | |
| We took the ferry back to our Charter bus back to our hotel. |
 |
| We were 2 hours "flight" from Alexandria, Egypt! |
 |
| What a ride, this driver did an Excellent job!!!! |
 |
| What a last beautiful night we had in Greece! |
