We would have loved to have had an afternoon flight so we could have arrived fresh as a daisy at Cyprus but instead we had to get the very early morning flight at 5am. Up at the completely unnatu...

Bones--ancient and bruised
Love those cultures upon cultures churches and palaces with their ancient bones, portentous, but forgotten history and fabulous mosaics! However, so sorry about your ankle, Scott--it sounds as if you need a bag of ice for that, not 37 degree heat--yikes. Hope it improves faster than it looks like it will, and I guess you were lucky not to have broken your neck falling down the stairs--double yikes! Best wishes!

My kingdom for a bell
Thanks Tara, In Pafos now and the ankle is on the mend but I think we need a few days with it raised and ice and perhaps a beer or two to heal it. The bruising hasn't come out yet but I can't wait as it is generally very colourful. Shelley as usual has become my slave and I just wish I had a bell. Still thinking maybe of flying to Iceland to get away from this heat.

Things that go bump in the dark...
Oh no Scott, your poor ankle. Although as I was reading about it (and even though I guessed what was coming), my inner voice still noted 'well Shelley DID tell you!'. I'm sorry :) But that could have been so so so much worse, luckily you didn't need medical attention. Going to Iceland right now would be awesome as I assume they will be in party mode after their recent success at kicking a ball better than England.

Male deafness
You know what us men are like, we just don't like being told what to do, and then have to endure the consequences. The up side is that I now have a couple of days recouping by a pool reading. As for poor England, maybe they should have informed the public that this would be the consequences of leaving the EU and maybe Brexit would have been a different result

Are you getting old?
Seems as if you can't take a slight tumble down the stairs anymore! As we age we don't bounce as well. Too bad we don't have that on video. I'll bet it was hilarious. Glad you are starting to feel better. I'll bet some of those delightful sausages and a couple of cold adult beverages will have you feeling better soon. Don't you hate it when you don't head the warning of the lovely Shelly and you have to tell all of us about the outcomes! The story made for a great blog. Enjoy the food. Eager to see what you get into next.

them old bones
A video of my fall would have probably been both spectacular and hilarious as gravity works well on my bod and I think it was more plummet than fall. You may have enjoyed this blog but the next one is going to be extremely boring as we have spent the last two days doing nothing but resting my foot. It is on the mend now and I can walk normally - well as normal as I ever have - and hopefully we will be out sight seeing again soon.

Ouch!!!
You gotta love the Greeks, or hate them! Hope your ankle's better Scotty. The blue water back drop looks lovely, I'm a little jealous of the heat as it's freezing here so much so that my bones hurt ha. You can really notice the price change hey, glad to here your not scrimping on the good stuff. The apartment sounds nice and again thanks for the history down date :) xx

Oi, you, get over here
In the town of Pafos right now and we have yet to hear a spoken word of Greek. Sort of feel like we have somehow gone through a worm tunnel and turned up in Dorset. It is rather strange to be in a town that is completely and utterly pommie.
