Happy Thanksgiving. Make it better and enjoy it, help the others enjoy it too!

Apart from being with the people you enjoy, support and treasure…it will be a great time to plan your trip to Greece in 2009.
-A stronger dollar (hope it holds! )
-Better flight prices
-The knowledge you’ll make the perfect choices (if you visit SuperbGreece.com!! )
-We are in Greece and yet we are celebrating thanksgiving here, with you, for you about you.
-If you can – well, why not?

Soon the bridge being built – an overpass crossing Crete’s north coast “New National Road” – will allow the removal of the only traffic signals (traffic lights) in the Heraklion area of the National Road. Its span is standing as if an island of road in the air, ready for its gradual completion.

This will eliminate a traffic bottleneck at the exit off the main road towards the town centre, Knossos and local suburbs.

Two traffic signals remain – either side of Agios Nikolaos – on this main travel artery.

Speed cameras have been installed from Kissamos to Sitia on the new National Road (the main road along Crete’s north coast) . There are warning signs, two successive signs, before each camera.
The cameras do not yet appear to have been activated. When they will be, we know not – we watch with some attention and dismay!
It is of course possible that in liberty-loving Crete these ominous grey metal boxes will not be brought to function, ever. We will see whether another restriction on personal choice and responsibility is allowed to smother freedom.

It is a beautiful, clear and sharp, bright sunny morning across most of Crete this November 24 day.
