Last Few Days of our Crete Vacation

The next morning we woke up and went for breakfast down the street, came back to our house and just hung out out the balcony admiring the view. We had until the afternoon before the taxi van came to pick us up to take us to the ferry. The ferry arrived on schedule and then once we reached Heraklion we had a two hour drive back to Chania for the night. It was late when we reached our inn. We stayed at the same place we stayed at the first night and like then, they just left our room key at the front desk. It was like we were coming back "home" as they gave us the exact same room.

The next morning was sad as we knew it would be our last before our flight later that day. We ate breakfast on the harbor and did some last minute shopping. Then we headed over to the base where we were going to get checked in for our flight back to Bahrain, only we found our our flight was delayed and we had until the next morning to leave. YAY!!!! Another day in beautiful Crete!!! We had lunch on the base and then immediately went online to book our room for the night. Then we went to the airport to go and see if we could extend our rental car. They couldn't extend us for the same car, however they ended up giving us a SUV in exchange for the same price. The look on Tyler's face was priceless. He was so excited to drive in it. So we went then we went and drove by Steve's old villa he used to live in before going to check into our place for the night. The place Steve booked for our last night was really nice. It was like staying in our own little villa. Then we went to the pool where Steve and Tyler went for a dip.
We then went in search of food and found a Mama's Place, a beach restaurant. The beach where Zorba the Greek was filmed. Before this though, we went for a little hike and found our second cache.
Dinner overlooking the beach and mountain was the perfect way to end our Cretan vacation. We had a sample plate of traditional Cretan foods as well. Then we headed back home where we packed up our things for the final time. We had to get up at 3am to return our rental and then go check in at the terminal on base. We so did not want to leave the island. What an amazing and relaxing vacation we had! It was absolutely perfection!
