CRETE!!! we are hereeeeee and what a wonderful place it is!! so far it's already the place i would recommend the most. but then again ive only been to athens and the island of evia...
anywayssssss.

so on thursday night we took the metro down to the big port in Athens called Piraeus. we spent an hour trying to figure out where to go and eventually we stumbled upon gate 3 and our huge ferry in route to Hania. we climbed on board and found a seat on the top deck. it was about 930 when the ferry departed and we were sooo excited to get moving. slowly it got out to sea and the lights from the port disapeared and everything was dark. it was kind of scary and uncomfortable haha. but then of course we made friends with 5 guys from athens who were going to crete for a week vacation. we spent most of the night joking and laughing and reminiscing about the Bourtzi boys. Eventually they trekked downstairs to get sleep in the lounge while Jessica and I were left on the open roof with the rest of the riff-raff. haha so we locked our bags to our benches and attempted to get a little sleep before we arrived. failllll. Let me describe the scene: hard bench, one sarong for a blanket, howling wind, freezng night air, completely dark outside, sticky sea water blowing around, a stray can getting thrown all over the place, weird people creepin about. ya no sleep happened. after afew hours i awoke from my awkward doze to jessica calling my name and opened my eyes to the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We were coming into port and there were misty mountains all around with the sun barely rising around them.. its so hard to explain how cool it was. we finally docked, got off the boat, and caught a bus into the main town of Hania. From there we were led by a nice old man to the bus station and caught another bus to the town called Rethymno. The bus ride there was more than amazinggg. The scenery here is breath-taking. Green mountains, blue sea, cliffs. AHH CRETE. We might have found paradise.

SO anyways now we are at this awesome hostel that reminds me of some beach bungalow and we couldnt be more pleased. its only 10 dollars a night and everything is perfect.
buttt i cant really write anymore cause jessica is yelling at me so i have to goooo!

i love you all!!!!

everyone should go book a ticket to crete right now
