Landing in Agios Nicholaos (Crete,) we begin our first full day's ride- 26 hilly, beautiful coastal miles... ending in an awesome little camping ground east of Ierapetra. We took a side road through a tinsy town, Vasiliki- try and find that one on the map!, that probably hadn't seen 1985, let alone 2 bike tourists.... one man peered at me with a hand at his brow, as if looking out to sea at a foreign object..I was 3 feet away! ha! Wild morning glories, vineyards, and horned sheep... what a great ride!
A $2 bottle of wine, and a huge dinner topped off the day and we slept like rocks...
Today we are in Ierapetra, futsing around... interneting and being little photographers... the old town is a dream! Narrow cobbled streets, old houses, and plants and flowers hanging everywhere.. we even found where rotary telephones go to die....
