Irish pub

Day 10 - March 7
Where was I - Rethymno (Island of Crete)
Lesson Learned - A day to relax is okay.

Yesterday on the bus I met some fellow Canadians who were staying at the same hostel. It was nice to meet somepeople from back home as it seems I've met more Americans then Canadians. In the evening we went in search of a recommended Irish Pub. We wondered the labrynth type streets asked for some directions, until we were in front of a little bar type situation where the owner came outside, we asked him if he was an Irish pub. He said yes. So we went in. He gave us Raki, we ordered wine and beer. After awhile we looked around and asked if he really was an Irish Pub because it had no resemblance to an Irish pub whatsoever. He laughed and shook his head no and brought us some food and introduced us to his friends.

After we were finished our wine we started to walk towards our hostel. What did we find around the corner? The Irish pub. We walked in and realised it was nowhere near as fun or cheap as the other "Irish Pub" that we discovered.

Today is Sunday, with this in mind alot of things are closed. So a little exploration to a Vanetian Castle was in order. Nothing too big, just a day to chillax and relax on a nice island with good people.
