TODAYYY WAS THE GREATESTTTTT.

We hiked the Somaria Gorge, the longest gorge in all of Europe, and it was probably one of the best things we have done on this trip so far. We got up super early at 6 am and headed off to the bus station with our new friend Amy--this super cool chick from Austin. We caught a bus to Hania, and another to the town of Omalos (I think) where the trail began. The bus ride to the beginning was terrifyinggggg. We winded up these thin mountain roads with of course no barriers and I was sure that we were going to go off the edge. Jessica and I were in the very front seats and cringed everytime we rounded a bend. But the drive and the scenery were breathtaking. Like honestly I cant even explain it. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever, ever seen. Hugeee green mountains, little white villages, blue sea.. nothing does it justice. So then we got to the start and began the 18km trek into the mountains. We took about 5 bazillion pictures and videos and stopped every so often to explore around and soak it all in. The cliff walls were magnificent and there were wild goats like frolicking about. Ahh i cant even write about it. After a few hours we reached the end and were pretty beat. We got some ice cream at this cafe and followed some random boys to a little beach town tucked away into the hills where we had to catch a ferry (the only way out of the village) to another town down the coast of southern Crete. ahhh soooo cool. from there we caught a bus to some other random village and waited 45 minutes for another bus back to Rethymo.

anywaysss now we are back to the hostel and I'm walking out the door to go to a BEACH PARTY with everyone... AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

ME GUSTA CRETEEEE.


hope all is well.
love love love.
