Happy Birthday to me!
Today in Crete became my get better or go home day. I set out to explore The ruins of Knossos, the ruins of the ancient palace of the Minoans and home to the Labyrinth of the Minotaur.
It was a really good thing that the bus parked close, that it’s a pretty small archeological site and there were plenty of random granite blocks to sit on. The whole thing was extremely painful. So much so that a fellow traveler offered me some of her Rx pain medication, “The good stuff.” I passed for the time being but we agreed I could check back in later if needed.
While this outing was pretty painful, it was not so bad as yesterday and gave me hope that I could continue. This was the last convenient ‘bail out’ stop that offered somewhat convenient transportation home, a flight to Athens, then home. I’ll have a couple days to see improvement en route to Egypt. My last chance to escape will be out of Cairo. There are not any good options after that until Dubai.
