Of course I had heard of Crete, but I knew absolutely nothing about the island. Since Kornelia had already visited Crete a few times, she recommended that I take the tour to Knossos, which I did. She decided to stay on the ship and just be lazy.

Little did I realise I'd be visiting ruins that day back 4,000 years!
