Day 6 Piraeus-Chania-Agia Marina 

We had planned to wake up early this morning (sort of, around 09:00), but it didn't quite work out that way.  We got ready then headed to a super market to get some snacks for the ferry.  After buying way too much food, we walked to our ferry.  We had planned to be an hour early for the ferry, but ended up being only about half an hour early.  We walked up to it and were put on a very fancy escalator with chandelier and bell boys.  They directed us to our unassigned seats (we had purchased the super economy seats which really meant that we were in a lounge area with metal lawn chairs and plastic couches along the edges.  At first it seemed super hot, but once the ferry got moving, it was actually quite comfortable.  For most of the ride, we both read.  The ferry was pretty big and the views along the way were so pretty.  The sea was so blue at one point and you could see the sun rays in the water.  I was getting super excited for my birthday beach day!  After the six hour ferry ride, we were there!  We had to do a little investigating to figure out how to get to our resort, but after asking a few questions, we were told to catch the bus to Chania and from there a bus to our resort.  I had thought we would be docking in Chania, but it turns out we docked at Souda, a little ways from Chania.  We grabbed the bus into town and after dealing with the grumpy bus driver, we walked to the bus station and caught our bus to get us to Agia Marina.  This bus was like a coach bus, so it was really comfy.  Once we got off the bus we had to walk a little ways, but finally we were there!  Thalassa Resort.  It was so exciting.  The resort was so pretty!  It looked like the fancy resorts in Mexico.  Our room was really nice too with a balcony and two rooms!  It was amazing!  It was getting late, so we decided to first check out the super markets right across the street to see if there was anything cheap to buy.  When we didn't find anything interesting, we headed to a pizza place and grabbed a pizza to take back to the room.  They offered us a shot while we waited too!  Back in our room, we ate our dinner on the balcony.  After that we headed to bed.  I was super excited about the next day!
