Hi there peeps....well I/we are back home again after 4 weeks in beautiful Crete. Had a fantastic time, the island is lovely.....interesting, lots of historicals to look around.....great scenery.....very mountainous...great food and nice people. We had a rental car for the 4 weeks and clocked up 2400kms. If anyone is considering going I/we can thoroughly recommend it.

Kingy...it's a lovely place....sun, sand, warm sea and snow peaked mountains in the north but just as mountainous with no snow further south. Petrol is stupid expensive 1.50-1.75 euro per ltr. Food is average and eating out is either cheap or however expensive you choose to make it. For instance we found a lovely isolated bay, great beach and a new taverna. Greek salad, a couple of other courses and a couple of beers was 12 euro. In the touristy areas that would hit you for around 25 euro.
Next jolly........not sure but a few days at Malvern and a few more later on at Barmouth might be in the planning. If we do Barmouth I'd like to take a look at the nearby mtb center....although for the 'family' trail not the mad red/black ones....
Anyway good to be back but always looking towards the next ........up up and away.......

Yogi....you're right it's great for exploring. We did a lovely gorge walk/climb/scramble then late lunch at a restraunt at the head of the gorge. Then another day we did another gorge...too hot.....difficult going over boulders etc, got lost for about 45 mins-1 hour....not funny in 40+ degrees but hey if you don't try these things.....
Bottom line....we did 4 weeks and would go back again for 4+ weeks.
