Disembark

The ferry was a good deal fancier than I suspected it would be. Since space is limited, we were assigned four to a room. Cas and I were placed with the other married couple on the trip, a teacher and an engineer from Australia. 

We got on, checked in and went to where they served food. Partially due to low expectations, we had brought apples and snacks with us. The food on the ferry looked pretty good, but we opted for a cheese pie (basically a flaky pastry with light colored cheese of some kind in it) and the apples we had brought along. 

After that, we shared a bottle of wine with our new roommates on the top deck of the boat, then brushed our teeth and went to sleep in our bunk beds. 

The ferry was supposed to have an alarm that sounded 30 minutes before we were to meet our group. That did't happen. One of our roommates set a backup alarm 15 minutes out. That was the winner. We had just enough to time to brush our teeth and swipe on some deodorant. No wardrobe change. Needless to say, we're hoping for an early check in at he hotel. 

Check out what it looked like when we disembarked: 

We're in Chania (pronounced con-ya) now. More to come.
