Paleochora - here I come

Well, not today, I have to be patient a few more days. But time flies, and I really look forward to May 10.

I have to say thank you to Flora at Haris Studios, who by mail gave me all possible help in finding a litte studio for me to a very reasonable price. I will stay in a tiny studio with beds and kitchenette an a small bathroom. In addition a terrace with a view, and it is only me to stay with this family. This way I think I will get in closer contact with the Cretans than by stayin in a more touristy place.

I also got a chance to test the Couchsurfing system. I became a member there recently and saw myself merely as a host this year. But then my flight scheduel was changed, and all of a sudden I was in need of a pplace to stay on Chania for one night.

After a few mails everything was settled. I will not only have a couch, but I will be met at the airport and be taken more or less directly to a fish restaurant. I am amazed! The members on this site all have references from other members. If there are some bad apples, they are soon found out. And negative references left in their profiles for everyone to read. So I feel pretty safe since my host have very good references.

So now I am almost ready to go....
