The next few days were spent very locally with the LLW doing a fair few hours work and plenty of time on the beach, in the sea and in one of the tavernas.
All very relaxing and its quite easy to settle into the way and speed of life here - nothing happens in a hurry.
Crete was once again looking stunning but in contrast to the last time we visited at the end of April 2015, the countryside is looking much more arid.
We did venture forth on Thursday when we travelled the 40 mins or so along the coast to the lovely Korakas beach were we enjoyed yet another swim and then had lunch at the Virgin Mary taverna.
Having stopped in Plakias to replenish the dwindling kitty at the ATM, we took the short route up the mountain to Sellia. We had taken this route once before but nevertheless it was surprisingly steep and narrow.
The LLW was fascinated by the Hibiscus and here is one of the numerous photos taken of said plant.
