Short winter escape

---

I needed it very much, and could not go too far or for too long. Besides the weather must be comfortable and not to cold. So we decided to take a very short flight to Cyprus. Forty minutes and we are landing. Or not? Water all around and no sign of land and our plane is going down lower ad lower. At the very last seconds before landed I was relieved to see a piece of land. Because our time was short and we wanted to see the best, I booked a tour guide who went with us. It was a remarkable holiday with lots of history, great food and beautiful scenary.
So we saw the castle of St Hillarion, the Kyrenia fortress, The Gothic Abbey of Bellapais and Famagusta ghost city, and next day all four seasons on the Greek side - spring with blossoming almond trees, summer with the flowers and sleeping cats, autumn with the rains cleaning the walls of ancient churches , winter with the snow and cold in the mountains - pretty awesome for one day.
And then we went home.
