Crete

Heraklion in Crete was our port on day 9.  The Boutari winery tour was great. The winery movie was odd. 


We picked up a couple of bottles of Greek wine to drink on the ship. Then we were on to the Palace of Knossos, which we decided Allison would like. It turns out that the Minoans were ahead of the curve in terms of gender equity. Evans did a nice job promoting the site (and the island) and at the same time making somewhat of a mess of the excavation and reconstruction.  

Stupid tourists don't help.
Once back to the ship we enjoyed the Boutari rose ("Poze").  A little dizzy, yet very nice, dry, and quite aromatic.
