Day 9 Chania Winery & Heraklion

Another early morning rise for us, we had breakfast with our friends and then we all hit the road again. This time our destination was Heraklion. It was another two hour drive in the car and to help break up the time, we decided to stop and check out the winery in Chania. The lady there took us on a little tour throughout the cellar, told us about the history and even gave us a little sample of the wine. We ended up buying a bottle to have while in Santorini.
As soon as we got to Heraklion, we found a parking garage to keep our cars safe in for the next few days. We then checked into our hotel and then went to check out the ferry tickets to Santorini. It was a little more pricey than we thought and they only had a few tickets left. We actually had to buy from two separate travel agents because they were so booked up. We then had lunch downtown. After lunch, we walked around some more and had some ice cream for dessert. We thought it would be neat for Tyler to visit the museum. He enjoyed seeing all the artifacts and learning about Greek history. We finished off our day with a late dinner downtown.
