Chania Day One

Got to our room at about 11:00, drank a fantastic bottle of Cretan wine we found around the corner.  Cathy said I was loopy and that she's never seen me loopy.  I think she had so much wine she was the loopy one.

A darling room with a small kitchen and a balcony over the street (a while ago while doing these posts the restauranteer below us (where we had breakfast this morn) recognized us and called up and waived).

The town is darling as well.

We did a walk through the market, checked out the orthodox cathedral which is just over my shoulder right now, walked the Venetian waterfront, slurped a lemon iced drink and found Tamam on a narrow side street...a restaurant touted as one of, if not the best on Crete.  Cathy had a Tamam salad which consisted of mixed greens, yogurt and avocado.  I had goat filets with roasted potatoes.  The food was delish.  At the end they brought a little desert and complimentary raki made on the island. 

After lunch we did some grocery shopping, Cathy had a shoe repaired by a local cobbler, who charged a few small coins, and we relaxed with gin and tonics and when the sun went down, a wine made at a local monastery.  Not as good as yesterdays wine.  Here's a few pics from the day.  Unfortunately, somehow I managed to change the settings on my camera and so do not have many jpeg images available from today to share.
