Still cool, the sun attempts to come through from time to time and it’s not raining.  Photo shows sprinkling of snow on the mountain. Memories of visiting the a palace of Knossos 25 years ago ! Sticking to the sights of Heraklion today. It is very quiet being “off season”. Tonight we start heading south and by Thursday will be passing through the Suez Canal. The Egypt call has been cancelled for security reasons so we will have 8 (yes eight) consecutive sea days.  I will not do a posting every day but in any case will definitely be posting at our next port of call which is Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman in 9 days time.
