Meeting Rob in Heraklion

By coincidence some old friends from Louisiana were on a cruise in the eastern Mediterranean and had a stop in Heraklion while we were visiting Crete. It was easy to get to the city by public bus which had a stop right outside the hotel - so of course we headed into town to meet Rob and Bill.

Since it was a hot day we headed right to the a cool museum with antiques - some more that 3000 years old

The palace of Knossos had been nearby

Mia was more impressed by an interactive game

Then we had a wonderful lunch at a small outside cafe in a narrow city street.

The food was excellent, there was a nice breeze, the beer was cold and had an old friends as company - what more can one ask for...
