This morning we went to Crete and visited Knossos, the Minoan palace. The Minoan are considered the first civilization in Europe and the ruines date back to 2500 BC! I’m always blown away by how advanced these old civilizations are. They had theater; They had plaster and made frescos; they had the original sliding doors; and they had three water systems including underground pipes and a flushing toilet! 4500 years ago!From Crete we sailed to Santorini for an unbelievably short visit. We basically ran around for the 40 min that we had trying to see as much and take as many pictures as possible. It was gorgeous and I wish I could have had more time to soak it in. To get back to the boat I took a terrifying (but fun and scenic) donkey ride down a steep zigzag path. I felt like I was going to fall off and this picture perfectly reflects the way I felt.
