Saturday and Sunday

So Saturday was the official last day. We worked hard through the morning and finished everything that we wanted to do. It was strange to say goodbye to everyone, but we've all got plans I meet up again in the future. And we got team shirts!

I even got a final letter ^^

Friday night was our big farewell dinner. 

Lizzy and I made sure we had a plaster girls picture, too.

And then it was a fun night out before the final day of work. Brett and I had a last lunch in Pacheia Ammos before we hopped on the bus with some other people from the dig to head to Heraklion.

There we found the hotel Brett and Gianna were staying in and we went out for dinner. This nifty little thing was in a park right near their hotel.

We had a drink at our favorite little corner bar in Heraklion, and then I picked my stuff up from their room and took a last look at Crete.

And then it was off to catch my ferry. We powered out of the harbor with a last smear of orange and purple still in the west. Crete looks beautiful at night, all lit up with the villages in the mountainsides glittering... I shall miss it. 

This morning I arrived in Piraeus, took the metro into the city to find the KTEL bus station, took a bus to Aigio, and then a cab to the next village over. But I made it! The town I am in now is Nikolaiika, and though I have yet to explore much, it looks like a cute little place. I've still no idea what tomorrow is going to be like, but we'll find out! The view from my room isn't too bad either!
