4 weeks away in lovely Crete are now over. We've been attending an English Language course in Chania at Via Lingua's center. All to do with trying to get some gainful employment her in Corfu - the language schools need certification before they'll look at you.
We drove there and took ferries despite the constant threat of strike action all over Greece - currently there are strikes in place by the taxi drivers who, apart from not wanting their monopoly broken, are a bit peeved by the government selling licenses for 10% of what the current drivers paid. There are so many monopolies that have to be broken as part of Greece's being in the E.U. - taxis being not the least among the pharmacies, truck drivers, seamen etc, etc etc - I'm afraid the Greek people will have to eventually concede that being part of the E.U. is a two-way street - a bit of give and take, not all take as it seems to have been up until now.
We came here to get away from an overly politicized society - just to arrive in the middle of the most political activity I can remember.
So, back to looking at the sea and my photography - keeps the mind sane.
Pix of Crete to follow once I've resized them.......
