Dear Andrew:
The first thing we did when we arrived was to check the post office but there was no mail from you or Barbara. I went this morning to check again but no mail. I sure hope we hear from you before we leave here. Next stop will be Iraklion up the island. Rob and I went swimming in a large saltwater lagoon today just outside the hotel. It is used for swimming races with lanes. There is a high diving board.
The hotel is lovely and new with a modern bathroom. With a breakfast included a double room is $3. Rob has gone spearfishing and I am on the balcony enjoying a cool breeze. I think I need a new bathing suit as a dog chewed its shoulders. I am sure you would love Greece. There are so many islands and all so cheap. In many islands we have lodged and eaten for $5 a day.
The island of Karpathos was wonderful. Very quiet and only two couples sleeping on the beach. Our new hotel there was $1.20 a night. In Canada it would easily be $30. The Greeks are fabulously clean but do not use deodorant or disinfectant the latter not even used to clean hotels. Once we leave Crete we plan to go to Skopelos, Skiros, Mykonos and Thira then to Thessaloniki in Northern Greece.
Good-bye Mum
