Greence Day 4

The ferrie boat to Crete was a lot bigger than I had imagined. It had over ten restaurants and cafes,  There was an obvious class system on the boat: rich people had their own rooms with a bed, and the poor people (including us) slept on the deck floor in the cold. It was a seven hour journey and the entire time, I was on the verge of sleep.. passing the line every couple of minutes and then being jerked back awake by a sudden jolt of the boat or a rush of chilly wind. We arrived at five in the morning and took a taxi to the front gate of the hostel and the owner told us to call him when we got there but we had no phone to call! We were freezing and exhausted, so we put our stuff on the side of the road and began to sleep on the sidewalk. A little bit later, a neighbor came out and asked if we needed any help. He let us use his phone and we eventually got a hold of him and were directed to our dorms. I fell on my bed and slept instantly.

  1. It's a horrible feeling not being able to sleep when you exhausted. Thank goodness you finally got a safe and good place to sleep.
    Makes you understand how terrible homelessness is!
