Walked around to the Archaeological Museum which holds a lot of Minoan pottery from gravesites in and around Chania. The museum itself is a 16th century Venetian Catholic Church of St. Francis. We walked along the old harbor. Many restaurants and old Venetian churches, old buildings, shops, narrow streets. Again, like Athens you'll find empty areas full of trash, sidewalks that are extremely hazardous, motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic and pedestrians, and autos being driven aggressively.
Ray has gone out for a haircut and I will be going out to find an Internet cafe to, presumably upload this info. :)
I was not able to find a wireless spot, tried uploading photos, but no luck.
Ray came back with a VERY short haircut. Not a very good one, either. :)
We were told that a restaurant called Antigone had very good seafood. Ray was determined to have a Cretan special called Kakavia, a fish soup. It only came in a Kilo. We tried to order a half kilo, but the chef wouldn't do it. So, for 50 Euros we waited for 2 hours for this Kilo of fish soup to be made. When it arrived, the waiter who was a most charming young man ladled out a disgusting mass of whole fish, skin, bones, fins and all along with some potatoes and set it on a platter. Then he dished out the soup. It had a lot of lemon flavor, not too fishy, but it wasn't really very good, not outstanding as it seemed like it ought to for a special and pricey dish. I think the waiter tried to make up for the soup with their lovely desserts and bottle of Raki.
