The national park of Samaria
The Ferry boat was put to good use with a 1030am start to Agia Romueli the village at the mouth of the Samaria Gorge. The students were to investigate aspects of tourism and the contrast between the original village position in the gorge and the movement to the present position at the mouth of the gorge.
The student groups split and some explored the village as others headed straight up the gorge interviewing any tourists that they managed to waylay. As many of the tourists looked rather tired from their efforts they probably didn’t mind being stopped for a chat. Ken wondered looking at some of the limping maybe wounded whether when they got back home how much of a strain they would put on their own health services.
The students at some time or the other all reached the iron gates indeed one group proceeded quite a way past which prompted a panic and a gallop back down the gorge in time for the last ferry. The ferry now rather crowded deposited everybody back at Chora Sfakion in time for a well deserved evening meal.
