Driving through the White Mountains of Crete, we pass a mountain goat climbing straight up a mountain wall before detouring to an historical war museum in a tiny mountain village on the road to the south of Crete.
The day started with just beaches as a destination - but a sign on the side of the mountain road for a war museum was too tempting to pass up. So glad I took that short detour - the museum, a personal collection of war relics collected over decades, was SO worth it.
George, a small boy who started collecting these relics shortly after the invasion of the Battle for Crete during World War two, amassed quite the trove of war treasures for this museum. His son and granddaughter now serve as tour guides, and it's enthralling the detailed knowledge they hold of every item inventoried and on display.
From rifles, to machine guns, to grenades, to helmets, to dental kits - from all nationalities involved in the Battle for Crete - it's all there and on display. Fascinating.
Pull over with us, enjoy the tour and the lessons at the end that we should all carry on with us tomorrow.
Enjoy!
