Just chilling

Much has happened since the rally ended, namely going off to Crete with the family for 8 days. A good place just to chill and relax. Well not axactly chill as Crete is the one place that is far from chilly. In fact, it was blooming hot!! Like 30 deg + hot. 8 days of blue skies, swimming, waterslides and as much alcholic drink one could take in a 24 hour period. Waking 'hung-over' was the norm most mornings so the two excursions (fishing and snorkeling on the first one and then caves, monestry, windmills and Knossos on the second excurion) with a 8.15am start to get to the coach was slightly unpleasent. But oh we had an amazing 8 days and Gouves holiday water park a great holiday destination for families.

Knossos, Heraklion

Having arrived back yesterday, managed to get 3 loads of washing done and dried and we are now almost ready for the next trip away. Saturday we head off in the motorhome for the New Forest for a week with Ian's brother Alan, sister-in-law Angela and sister Sheila and brother-in-law Chris. Thats not the end of our travels though, as we then drive to Fishgaurd to catch the ferry to Rosslare for a 6 week tour around Irelands coasts.

A few of Cretes wildlife. First two critters were in the bedroom.
