Europe trip – CRETE!

Marlies WobbenAugust 29, 2018GreeceLeave a Comment

So freaking happy to be back on Crete after 13 years!! Kalyves doesn’t seem to have changed all that much, still the laid back Greek town with moderate tourism and great restaurants. This time we stayed with Christi Apartments, close to where we stayed 13 years ago. Fantastic!

About Wobben.org

Hello! We are Nico and Marlies Wobben!

On The Prairie And Beyond is mostly about our life in Regina, Saskatchewan on the Canadian Prairie, where we live with our five wonderful kitties and go camping a lot with our motorhome. We also love traveling back to the old country (Netherlands) and other places!

Nico is an RN and I (Marlies) have a web design and crafts business Feel The Fire and write on this blog. Until 2019 I combined this with a parttime office job.

We've known each other since the 80s from heavy metal concerts, mostly in Eindhoven, where I am from. We didn't get together until 1993, married in 1996, lived in Heerlen until we moved to Canada in 2008.

We are home! We love the people, the space, nature, the wildlife... our prairie life!

Our Kitties!
