UK and Med Cruise - Day 11 - 15 September - Heraklion, Crete

Our tour today was called 'Heraklion on your own'.  Basically they drove us into town, gave us a map, took us for a short walk around the streets of the old town and then said they'd meet us in the same place in four hours.
I had done some research into what we could see, so we went straight back to the Archaeological Museum.  Spent a fair bit of time there actually, there were a lot of displays and they were set out and explained really well.
We then found our way down to the docks and wandered out to look at the Venetian fort.  Unfortunately you can only look at it from the outside, but it's a seriously impressive piece of architecture:

We then had a walk along the shoreline before going back into the town to escape the heat.  Had an early dinner in a nice restaurant, back to the ship and then crashed.
