Why don't you just do it? Life is short. Mate if i had the funds i would. Got invited to Ukraine too but same thing stops me, having to pay the bills etc. Jet fuel is costly too. True, timing is everything. |

I didn't know Crete grew bamboo and I didn't know German soldiers got impaled on it. That's pretty resourceful. I do know, though, that they have lots of knives and guns. They gave the Germans a really hard time. PS. I returned from a quick trip to Athens this morning. Two ships in two days. Like it was nothing. Only 36 Euro one way. The Crete invasion as described in Beevor's history book mentions the Germans being stuck on the bamboo. I think it grows in groves and is cut by the locals to make fences and wind breaks for the crops. I see cut bamboo in the Philippines when i climb here and it's lethal to fall on or near. Stuck Germans is like a horror film scene. I wonder if it hurt? An Italian pilot bailed out over Malta he ended up on a bronze statue that had a sword on it. Not very pretty. Awesome you went there by ship must've been a good trip. I'm waiting to hike again when time. You're in the Philippines!? That is exotic in itself. Not sure you need Crete... |

Crete always was my darling island and i promised to go back. I do not want to run out of years. That place mesmerizes me. Yes i am in PH. Its a good place. Lot like Crete with a strong history made in blood tears sweat death and actions. PH has many things to see and do and the history is like Crete, simply unreal but real. |
