Gillian - Last day in Crete, Barbara left something behind

Good morning. It is currently 06:30 and I am on a ferry boat close to docking in Athens. Yesterday we left our cretan airbnb and drove for our final day in heraklion. It was raining in the morning so we putzed around instead of going to the beach or something. We did however do a quick shopping trip in spili and I ate a tomatoe.

In heraklion we had italian food for lunch. It was a welcome change from all the greek food we've consumed thus far. I paid for lunch which means I bought Barbara the best pasta she has ever had.

After that we visited the natural history museum. Twas relaxed and fun. We saw many dioramas of taxidermied animals. Barbara got to see all the birds we'd heard calling but wouldn't come out of the trees to be seen. I was not ready for the size of wild boar. They had cool science experiments and some non-stuffed animals too. In the basement they had some animatronic dinosaurs and an earthquake simulator .

Barbara ruined one of our ferry boats escalators by falling into the steps and bleeding all over it. She has 4 holes in her knee where it met the edge of the moving stair. She is patched up and drugged up and in time will recover but the escalator may never be the same.
