A bonus for us when we have been travelling has been the number of lovely people we have met along the way. Crete has been no exception. There are quite a few English people who have decided to live here in Crete and we have met a few of them.
Our neighbours here are English and we have met a few English people whilst out walking with Millie. Everyone has been very friendly.
A good friend of Janet & Kev's (Millie's owners) is a chap called Roger - a very sweet man who came out to Crete some 2 years ago now and moved in to a villa up in the hills with fabulous views over the bay. Roger has been very kind to us during our stay and he has introduced us to some local tavernas that we might never have found had we been exploring on our own.
We had the pleasure of attending a traditional Greek dancing
night, ate more Meze 
than we should at a beautiful little bouganville-draped taverna in the mountains, enjoyed the company of some of Roger's friends at a darts tournament at his house and, enjoyed lunch chez Roger on more than one Sunday. 
It has been great and we hope that we will remain in touch and stay good friends.
