Sitia (Crete) - Beach Day

Spent a relaxing morning at the Sitia beach. We did some sunbathing and some swimming, which was all very nice, although the small waves left a bit to be desired.

After swimming, we saw this one dead fish washed ashore. We were later assured that they sometimes fall off the fishing boats.

For lunch we had more gyros along with a Greek salad we made ourselves back at the hotel. The gyros were a bit disappointing, but there only seemed to be like one gyro guy open at midday on Monday.

We spent the afternoon at the hotel enjoying the Internet and working on the blog. We decided to go out to the Archeology Museum, which is supposed to be excellent, but found that it is also closed on Monday. We also went looking for the dot on our map that was marked "Pelican house," hoping for an explanation of the pelican from last night, but we found no sign of either the pelican or it's house.

Next we purchased our ferry tickets for our onward transit. Cute fish in the tank!

In the evening we took a nice long walk along the beach by moonlight. Sadly, we didn't see the pelican today.
