Tourist bonanza: Space Centre

We had an evening visit to the Space Centre, which again, is a 15 minute walk from our apartment.

I'd already been here once before; it was David's first visit.

However, it was great for me because they were doing a specific, one-off talk (that I hadn't seen before) about 'Who made the constellations?' 

And actually - turns out that what we learnt in school was wrong. It wasn't the Greeks; it was the Minoans. You learn something new every day.

We then went to its observatory where you can star-gaze using the most enormous telescope I've ever seen:

 
Interesting & surprisingly educational evening.
