Iraklion (Heraklion), Crete

Friday…Day 6. This is the capitol of Crete so we were in a very busy city. We wanted to go find a beach. J announced upon wakening he did NOT want to go to the beach. We said OK! So off to Adventure Ocean he went. Good think too cause we had a very hard time finding a beach! We only had 5 hours in this port so we had to move fast. We could have taken a cab but could not all fit in one and then would have had to pay for two… also could have bought the ship excursion and in retrospect maybe should have… but after some walking we did come upon this fountain...

and then we finally ran across about a 20 foot stretch of sand next to this fortress close to the ship… and decided that would have to be our beach. We really had a nice day all things considered.

Below was taken from the ship looking back at our "beach".

After returning to the ship Joey spent some time ice skating with J and C.

Another formal night for dinner, we weren't as formal as the first night but we still dressed up. Daddy and his little girls.

sorry, can't seem to get this next pic turned right...

S enjoying his steak!

R loving his giant shrimp.

Playing on the helicopter pad on the very front of the ship after dinner.

Goodnight!!!
