We landed in Heraklion on the island of Crete on Saturday afternoon. That evening we met up with two other scientists: Greg- an ROV pilot and Louisa- a data logger. The four of us spent the evening touring the city, going to different markets and shops, and wandering the cool streets!
We ate at a delicious Greek cafe near our hotel. We've been having gyros, fish, and greek salad! We also met some members of the Jason Project that are on board too.
Sunday morning we left the hotel and met with the rest of the group at the ship. After checking in, we were given the day to explore more of the city. A fellow educator at sea, Marty, taught us about the ship and walked us around the city. It was absolutely gorgeous! We ate at a delicious restaurant overlooking the marina and beautiful blue water! We tried different local fish and desserts. We even found a place where fish give you a pedicure- so cool and tickles a lot!! By 5 pm that night, it was time to board Nautilus!
