    Looks beautiful, think I'd struggle to much with the heat tho. Random and unrelated I know but where did you get your hair clamp from? It's lovely x

      That's really nice that you noticed, but very strange in that it actually broke a couple of days ago!...it was my mum's and I wanted to use it as she is no longer with me anymore - so even though something very small I was upset it broke. I think mum only bought it a few years ago from Accessorize I think.

      Oh lovely I'm so sorry. Sometimes the little things that you remember them using are the most precious

    Just an FYI the Old Town and the Fort were built by the Venetians during their occupation of Crete in the 1200’s. The fort provided a lookout point for pirate ships run by moslem pirates which made it a habit to raid islands in the Mediterranean and a point of safety where the residents of the old town would lock themselves in if a pirate raid was detected by the lookouts. There are underground shelters and store rooms where supplies were kept if the people had to shelter from a raid. These areas have been closed off for safety reasons due to their age and the effects of the German occupation during WWII. Life here is a mix of both the good and frustrating. Glad you enjoyed our city!
