Easy day today. Actually had a late start with a lie in. That's what holidays are for.
Fiona seems to be suffering from caffeine withdrawal so we headed out for breakfast at 1400 but it doesn't help her. The combination of heat, no caffeine and odd sleep patterns has caused a migraine so she cannot manage her salad. The manager was not impressed until we explained she was feeling ill from the heat. It happens sometimes he agreed. Our white skin sells our lack of experience with sunlight.
Off then to find a bar showing the race and the tennis. We find one and settle in. There is a conflict though. Vettel is winning the race on the big screen and on the smaller side screen and everyone is watching but the manager is flicking over to see if the tennis has started. Once the warm-ups are over he turns the race over to the tennis. The German at the front of the room is not impressed. He gets moved to the side to watch on the smaller screen, but is annoyed with the poor reception and storms out.
We settle in with cheap draft beer, ice cream and crepes. And Andy finally takes the big one.
Stagger up the road to the apartments where there is a bbq. We underestimated the formality - we are about 5 minutes late and they are all waiting at a single long table.
Good bbq, lots of meat. Free wine.
Then silly games until we call it quits at just after midnight with an early start for the Crete historic tour in the morning.
