The Old Town

24 Comments | Greece 2012

I usually try to only post high quality photos on my blog, but sometimes iPhone pictures capture the setting so well. Lower quality of course, but I think they have their charm. This is from last night, in the gorgeous old town here in Rethymnon. It was so incredibly pretty there, can’t wait to go back tonight! I’ll bring my Canon camera for sure, so I can show you how pretty everything is. We’ve had bad luck with the restaurants so far though.. The first day the staff just wouldn’t leave us alone. You know the drill “Hii, halloo, Norway? Sweden? Yeeah “tosen tack” hahahaha, Scandinavia wohoo” every two minutes. Not to be rude or anything, but after a long day in the sun you don’t want to shake hands and exchange business cards with ten different waiters while trying to eat your dinner. I’m such a germ freak, so that kinda stuff freaks me out. The hand shaking, that is..  Last night we found the cutest little restaurant which also showed the EM match on a big screen, seemed so perfect! But no, there were these ridiculously loud screams which came every ten seconds, which almost scared me to death every time, and we couldn’t figure out where the screams came from. Then we noticed the parrot in the corner, who screamed all through the dinner. Haha. Gosh, I must seem like a total brat complaining about these things, but I simply like some peace and quiet while having dinner.. Oh well, I guess it has its charm as well. Now we’re headed for the beach, have a wonderful day sweets♥

Crazy eyes.. I was wearing a skirt from H&M, Converse, a top from Asos and a bag from Accessorize :)

  4. Flotte bilder! Rethymnon er jo en fantastisk by. Dere må spise på Veneto (skiltet i bakgrunnen på ene bildet), hvis dere ikke allerede har gjort det, helt nydelige lokaler <3 Ligger Livingroom der fremdeles? Da må dere sjekke det ut! Nydelige desserter og drinker (strawberry fields er best!), kul stemning og musikk! Ahhh, så misunnelig! Kos dere :-)

  7. Huff høres ut som typisk Syden! Jeg går aldri på restauranter med innkastere.. hvis de har behov for en egen person som prøver å sjarmere skandinavere på gebrokkent norsk/svensk så er det som regel et dårlig tegn.
    Kan ikke fordra det :P
    Men det finnes sikkert mange gode restauranter i området også, Tripadvisor pleier å være en grei hjelper for å finne perlene :)
    Kos deg masse på tur! Heldig!

  19. I feel the same way about that germ- thing! Antibac on vacation is a BIG MUST whenever I travel or when Im just out shopping and getting a bite to eat. Btw, you are starting to look really taaaaaan :D

  20. Elsker bloggen din! Du skriver alltid så morsomt/fint og har masse fine bilder! :D Men – det hadde vært litt mer behagelig å lese all teksten du skriver hvis du delte den opp i litt flere avsnitt! Heller for mange enn for få! :D

  21. åååååh!!! Eg elskar Rethymnon!! Gamle byen er heeelt fantastisk, og det er ikke noe annet :)

    Jeg kan gjerne anbefale ein utrolig bra resturang. Dei seller utrolig god gyros der!! Det er i enden av stranden retning gamlebyen. De har to etasjer, og er veranda oppe med stor tv skjerm. Der er utrolig service, og MYE mat for LITE penger :-) Du ser den resturangen, på den andre siden av stranden.

    Håper du forstod min dårlige forklaring, å finner den!! :)

  22. Heey so jalouse at you, being im greece :( kind a funny i’ve been right there, were you are standing at the picture. Me and my mom got lost after entering that ally.. Haha. But i’ll hope you enjoy it and that you might soon will find a good and more private restaurant. Personally i dont like the food down their.. But the fish is good :)
    Xoxo

  24. Åååh jeg skal til Rethymnon om to uker!:D gleder meg! håper det er litt uteliv der da, ettersom jeg skal med jentene:) håper uansett du har en strålende ferie! Og kom gjerne med tips fra der du er når du kommer hjem!D
