Crete, (unintentional) day 7

I had a shower and a cup of tea, and went down to check out. I had to wait for a shuttle, but got off at the south terminal as I spied a bus ticket office nearby. I was only charged £7.60 to change my ticket, but I had to wait nearly two hours for the next Cambridge bus. So I got some food from M&S, and amusing myself until 1.45 with my phone. On the coach, the traffic was fairly awful, but I still managed to get back just before 6pm, in time for my 7pm tour rehearsal.

Postscript
The cicadas in Crete are very noticeable. They are incredibly noisy, but it didn’t take me long to get used to them again. Andy, however, struggled rather a lot, finding them very hard to bear.

The other thing is the eucalyptus trees – I saw lots of them on the approach to Xania, and they made me feel at home.

Greece is awesome, and I again got teary at the thought of leaving it behind. I will be back. . .
