I love the beach. The first time we were in Crete we were staying at a hotel that was overbooked. So we got a shabby room and had to wait five hours for that… It was late afternoon when we arrived there after a two and a half hours flight and a 45 minutes bus ride in the hot summer sun. Anyways, my brother was starting to get really angry and bossy, so I searched for some short pants for us, we changed in the toilets, and then went to the beach. We stayed for an hour, and when my father came to check on us, the sun was just setting on the horizon. I’ll never forget this feeling, the ocean waves crashing on my legs, his arms around me and that view. Oh that view. As close to heaven that we will ever get on Earth.
