Found at Falasarna

Falasarna has a beautiful long stretch of beach facing west, and we spent a very pleasant afternoon there when we recently had guests. I wandered off to do a bit of exploring and came across a tiny little inlet on the shore which was obviously used as a small harbour. Piled around the harbour were some boats that were looking a little less than seaworthy.

The beach was backed by a rocky cliff filled with caves. I had a good nose around, but was then a bit freaked out to find that someone seemed to be living in the caves, and that there were all sorts of Blair Witch style 'found objects' there!

Found: Noah's Ark

At least our recent trip to Gramvousa cleared up one of the mysteries of the age - the location of Noah's Ark. That can be the only explanation for the battered old boat sitting on bricks next to the cantina some 700 metres above sea level.

Quirks

Moving country can be a disconcerting experience, but we've found lots of amusing strange little quirks in Crete which keep our spirits up. Like lots of pictures of Obelix. And I can often be found poking around in quirky abondoned buildings. Then once we got to Austria there was The W�stenrot invasion, Vergeiner and the door frame that changed colour. Here is a list of all the Quirks we wrote about before September 2007.
