Today’s adventure turned out to be a search for Creatine in Iraklion. We arrived there at 7 am, but didn’t get out and about until about 9 am. We Pieter started a personal training program in the gym on board, so he was on a mission to find a place that carried the supplements he needs for it and I was along for the ride. Having never been out in this port other than in the terminal to use the internet, I was looking forward to seeing what there is to see. It’s the 4th largest city in Greece and is definitely very industrial and commercial-looking. We found a marketplace-type area and headed that way. It was pretty unexciting honestly, but we went to Starbucks for caffeine and nourishment in the form of a cheese pie.
Finding no vitamins, we had to race back to the ship so we could get back on by 11 am. There was a horrible line to get through the terminal as five cruise ships were docked there and the passengers were trying to get through. We made it back, but weren’t too impressed with the trip. Then I got to do almost four hours of laundry for the show and personal stuff, so that was quite a delight! HA! I amuse myself by quoting Edna Turnblad while ironing and scare away the other crewmembers in the laundry room in the process.
Eric and Pieter and I went for sushi that night and I tried a new tofu dish – actually Veggie Chow Fun with tofu added in there and it was pretty great- much better than the last dish! Then, we went to see the show in the Stardust Theater – an opera singer named Edmundo and a violinist named Vincenzo. Both were really fantastic! After the show, I headed up to White Hot for a minute to see the dancers, do the Cha-Cha Slide and get a bottle of vodka to de-stinkify the ripe dancer costumes… I love my job!
