The Greeks sound hospitable by the warm welcome you received. Crete is a unique experience and it is good to have plenty of time to take in the environment, not to mention the driver experience near the cliff wall. It sounds as if you are safe now and energetically enjoying the journey with minor time table disruptions. Nice story

Labour Day is also the "8 Hour Week-End" when unions won the battle to reduce the work day to 8 hours, making it 40hrs per week. It was 48 hrs pw.
Just read your Godfather experience from Cicily. I am sorry it was a hair raising experience for you but nicely presented story and great reading.

Thanks Wanda - we are trying!
Erika is much better today and did brave some driving which is a challenge at the best of times around here.
Hope to talk soon.
Wanda
I hope you two are misbehaving yourselves. Sounds as if, in spite of bad weather, being unwell, you've managed to rally and enjoy the tour/s.
It's a public holiday here and I want to know why people aren't working on a day called Labour Day??
Weather has been great to the last few weeks. We're so lucky here in Noosa in our Patch of Paradise.

Indeed very spectacular with a distinct Spanish flavour to the architecture. No wonder everyone are going to Spain in the last couple of months.

The provincial regions are beautiful with the narrow streets which were built long before the invention of motorcars. The solid stone structures of the buildings still look solid and lack of contemporary design shows taste in preservation of the landscape.

My interest in fine dining is enhanced with your journey in France and I am pleased to see from the exotic dishes, Le Trachteur did not disappoint. I like a provincial look with the buildings and the presentation of food.

Love reading your blog and seeing the wonderful photos. Envious... Oh yeah!!!
Elisabeth
Great experiences you are sharing with us. I still enjoy the food theme and visits to markets mixed with exotic surroundings and buildings with so much history.

Brings back wonderful memories of visiting Berlin 2 Years ago. Enjoy.
Elisabeth
I particularly like the adventures of Prague and I know people from the area very well and they sometimes describe the city. It is most enjoyable to follow the journey with you and sample all the dishes including the duck & red cabbage
Erika Hackett
Keep enjoying, the old city looks beautiful very much like Tallinn in Estonia.
Hope you're feeling better and the weather is improving.
