Day 4 - Road Trip - Crete!!!

Today we hired a car to take a road trip. Ben got us a good deal with all day and unlimited kms for only 55 Euros. He got them down from 86. Mick would be proud.
This was the first time Ben had driven a left hand drive car on the right hand side of the road. He was very excited and did a very good job. I only had to tell him once to get on the right side of the road. And he twice went to change gears with his left hand instead of his right hand.
This was what the roads are like. The Greeks are the worst people to drive with. They pass you whenever they feel like it. Over double lines. When there is oncoming trafic. Ben and i quickly picked up that you drive as far to the right as possible (in the gutter) and when you reach a slow person, Just go for it. Gee driving in Australia is so good. Between the Brits and the Greeks, Im glad Bens the driver.
We had lunch on a beach, then spent the afternoon in the deck chairs and swimming. Just brilliant.
To finish off the day we went to another cocktail bar where we paid 8 euros for a cocktail. I didnt know until after i had ordered that it cost so much but Ben didnt care. I got the cocktail and there was so much alcohole in it that that was all i needed.
