Ferry Strikes on Crete


Change of plans. Ferry workers strike in Chania, my current city.  Have to leave a day and a half early, in a little under two hours.  Take a bus (between 2 and 4 hours) to take a ferry from another part of the island where the strikes haven't taken effect yet. Pictured above is one of the ferries.  They are huge and it's a really big deal when they go on strike because the majority of all the imports for Crete come on these ferries, which are part industrial and part commercial.  

This is what the lobby of the ferry we took to Crete looks like. Doesn't seem like the industry could hurt to pay it's workers a little bit more.  Lots of classmates are pissed we have to leave early and at such short notice, but I'm kind of charged by it.  Going down to the port for a bite to eat, see if anything is going on, maybe snap some pictures.
