Crete White Mountains. October 18–19: Loutro–Chora Sfakia–Sougia
October 18: Loutro
Today was a rest day. And we rested!
Chris slept off his cold. I took a quick dip in the surprisingly cold water; cold freshwater springs enter the sea in this area, making the water cool and clear. We walked up and down the town, which takes about five minutes.
We watched two movies. First, we watched Caddyshack, which I now realize doesn’t have an actual plot. It’s mostly just set pieces that hang together more or less effectively. Then, inspired by Rodney Dangerfield’s performance, we watched Back to School, which is surprisingly strong. He really was a comedic genius.
