Crete Greece has been a roller-coaster ride for us dealing with illness and
poor weather today is our last day on Crete and we have one of our best days
yet check it out what do you think of this psychro cave Minoan Knossos Palace
our kids are so lazy they gotta go on a donkey this wall is gonna collapse on
you domkey with the hat used to be a man he devoured his children
it's just crazy beautiful we're in trouble then right
[music]
we're in Crete Greece and every country we go to we try to figure out the
driving laws here is crazy it's like anything goes a lot of the things that
we've seen here will be considered dangerous driving and reckless driving
back home you have to drive in the shoulder and let people pass and then
people just pass on blind corners weave in and out no regard for your
personal safety it's crazy we've picked up on it and we drive the same
way now when in Rome we're heading up to psychro cave and it's supposed to be the birthplace
of the god Zeus so we're gonna go and check it out and you can get up there by
hiking or you can take a donkey ride and our kids have opted to take the donkey
trot ride cuz they've never been on a donkey before how cool is that
whoo are you excited or nervous Excited! and nervous yeah our kids are so lazy they gotta
go on a donkey up this climb to Zeus's castle Zeus's birthplace
I'm racing the donkey who will win
psycho cave is located on the east region of Crete just south of Malli it's a steep climb to get
to but the views along the way are fantastic how's the climb good it's too
much of a climb for you no I just have a cold he's been sick where was this donkey on
Cinque Terre like this is steep climb yeah but we did like 40 of these on
Cinque Terre this is just one yeah one up hill
Look he's turning 90 today happy birthday
so what do you know about this Zeus cave
it's about some woman who gave birth to Zeus that would be his mom
and then she had to hide him from the father because he devoured his children for power or something
I don't know sounds interesting Oh oh got to turn off we got donkey traffic
this is rush hour donkey traffic there's a donkey with a hat oh yeah he must have
been a man once donkey with the hat he used to be a man he wasn't good to his
parents I guess according to my wife another fib to our children yeah just like the
one I tell our kids that they're not so tall because they don't eat their
broccoli Bella Margherita thank you very much say thank you
Zeus is the mythical god of the sky lightning and thunder the king of gods
tell me about Zeus what do you know he was a bad he was a bad God? a good God yeah his father
Kronos swallowed his children as soon as they were born one was prophesied still
overthrow him makes sense right I just not have kids this cave is huge
I think Zeus was a big guy this is crazy beautiful big I wasn't expecting this
we never been this deep into a cave before
yeah yep no I gotta I gotta focus on my steps here every to fall what do you
think of this
this is crazy the things from the ceiling are this other the stalagmites
or the stalactite it's better a stalactite is an icicle shape formation
that hangs from the ceiling and a stalagmite is an upward growing mound of
mineral deposits this chamber is just filled with them
I think this where they used to sleep who? ah the gods like Zeus and the other people
And the other gods and that egg over there looks like a rock but I think in a million years
it's gonna hatch and its going to be a god in there cool we
could all be in for trouble then right, good, good trouble
Donkey? where's the donkey?
you'llactually have to do some work walk down a hike down is filled with spectacular
views of the mountainside and ocean we only have a couple hours left before we
catch our flight into Athens one more stop on the way though well we're at
the Minoan knossos Palace its suppposed be amazing we hope so because it's 30 euros
to get but the kids are more interested in chasing the peacocks around
that's right but I guess it's fun for kids talk about taking a step
back in time knossos palace was first inhabited around 7,000 BC and was
abandoned around 1382 to 1100 BC wow this is like 3,000 years old it's more like
around 9,000 years old that just blows my mind
so you can step on it and fall throuhg? ah maybe
in its peak somewhere around 1700 BCE the palace and surrounding city population estimated around a hundred
thousand people
Its literally looks like this wall is going to collapse and fall I was walking down here and like what the heck?
well it's 3,000 years old
this is beautiful but we got to catch a flight don't you think yes we really enjoyed
our time a Crete hopefully we can come back one day if you haven't been what
are you waiting for it and oh yeah don't forget to subscribe and hit that like
