Road trip!

Hello! I'm back again to write a blogpost about yesterday. I said before we went on this holiday that I would like it if we could hire a car and just go somewhere. I didn't want to lay down and tan and swim and eat the whole holiday. So we hired a car and went on a trip by the car. At first we wanted to hire a Jeep  because it has no roof and it seemed to be a cool idea, but my stepfather was too big to sit comfortable in this car, so we had to get something else. The rent-a-car guy said he had something better for us: a Audi A3 Cabrio. And oh my God, that car was awesome. I have a picture of it and I am going to try to upload it!

The first thing we visited was our friend Jiannis. He has his house somewhere near Chersonissos, and he also has a supermarket with a cafe connected to his house. We have been there a few years ago to have a look around when they were still building all this. I was quite young when we did this, so I could only remember a little part of the cafe bar. When we arrived at his house, he actually was still asleep. He had been fishing the night before and he got home very late. We found his wife in the supermarket next door and asked her to wake him up. We talked a bit about what we going to do that day and Jiannis told us to go to the biggest biggest and most variable aquarium of whole South-Europe.

We decided to go there, because we wanted it to be a spontaneous trip, and we didn't think, or hear, about this before. I enjoyed it. I saw many sorts of fish I had never seen in my life ever before. I also saw two very big sharks, you know, the ones that are approximately two meters long, are grey and white coloured and have those sharp teeth. Here is a picture of it.

We also saw the famous clown fish Nemo and his friend Dori! There were many beautiful fishes, so many colours on one fish...

After we had seen all the fishes, we got onto our awesome car again and drove to Agios Nikolaos. It is the city with the famous never-ending lake! It turned out to be no deeper than 64 meters or so, but it is not so wide, so that is still quite impressive, isn't it? We took a picture of us with the lake. I remember looking at this lake from a different point of few somewhere upstairs when I was younger. It is awesome to be here so many years later and still remembering how it looks like. Again we sat down at a little restaurant, at the lake, and drank some drinks and we ate a pizza here as well, because we had not eating anything at all, except for the breakfast.

Here is a picture of us with the famous lake behind us.

Also something we wanted to go to during this trip was an old, non-touristic villages, where the old Cretain people live and play backgammon at the corner of every street. We tried and took every 'weird' road we saw, but nothing really let us to somewhere like this. We saw some roads what probably could let us to a little village like that, but we didn't want to take the risk not being able to get out any more  The roads here are quite straight and badly paved. We even almost fell into one of these roads, because the reverse mode of our car kind of got stuck.

Then we went to Sisi, another city near Chersonissos. We tried to go to this place before we went to Agios Nikolaos, but we kind of got lost and didn't know how to get off the road. But finally we got there, and it was nice. Near to Sisi was a way to a little village in the mountains and we went there, parked our car somewhere, and walked in the little and narrow streets of this village looking for a cafe to drink. We also took some pictures and looked a bit around. And then... we actually got lost. We could not find the cafe where we wanted to drink any more, and sat down somewhere else. But we didn't know where we were, and so we kind of lost our car. We walked into the wrong direction, but eventually found it back somehow :D

And while walking back to our car, we bumped into a reeeaaaallllyyy nice guy. He talked to us. He thought I was English when he heard me talking, but he was wrong. He looked at me all the time when we were talking, and when he walked away from us, he was still looking at me, and I think he likes/liked me. He is from Albania, and I will probably never see him again!

When we found our car back, I sat in it and acted like I was driving the car. I think driving in a car really isn't a difficult thing to do, and I am looking forward to when I am old enough to take driving lessons :)
It is two o'clock here, and so I think it is late enough to publish this blogpost, because I have pretty much told every thing!
