Its Hania not China

0Josh • 24th Oct 2006 • blog entries, travel

So, today we’re in the large city of Hania, which can also be translated from the greek alphabet as Chania, or Xhania. This is also the city which we flew into a few days ago. Up until our trip we were pouncing it China….oops.

Yesterday we took a relax day and did a lot of nothing…..is there a better way to spend a vacation day? We watched some movies, lounged by the pool and slept in.  Today has been a bit more touristy as we explore this ancient city.  We went to another archaeological museum here that has artifacts that were thousands of years old, and just found in the 70s & 80s.  The food has been pretty good, but we feel there is more to try.  Crepes are very common, as are Gyros & other pita lunches.  Today we had a “Ham, Cheese & Tomato Pie” which was more like a flakey pizza pocket.  The weather is still good…….hot, in the mid to upper 70s (although they measure everything in the shade with wind).

We’re having a great time!
