Venturing into town round two. We decided that we were deff not walking this time. I went to bed dredding that walk thinking I would have to do it again today.. not only once, but twice. So we waited for the bus and noticed that it does not come every 1/2 an hour we were waiting at least 40 min. We got into town in 5 minutes instead of forever it was so much nicer. We went to the promenade since there was going to be traditional Greek dancing and it was pretty cool and then we went to the beach and laid out for hours which then meant of course I got fried like no other. I was wearing my hadaya necklace so I have this little aread on my chest which is not red ... read more

And the adventure begins... the Nesher picked us up around 3am to go to the airport we got through the airport around 430 am everything was smooth our flight was at 7am we landed by 8am it very a very quick flight, we get into a cab to take us to the hotel (we notice automatically that they drive on the other side of the ROAD)!!! We get there to try to check in which is not until 1pm unless you pay 20 euro to get to your room earlier. We did that since both tx and I did not sleep a drop last night and we couldnt function without sleep. We wake up 8 hours later around 6pm starving and ready to get our vacation started. We did not want to go far for dinner ... read more

In July of 2008 I spent about 11 days in Cyprus. I was lucky because a good friend of mine, Theano, is from Cyprus and was there when I visited. She and her sister, Petroula, were great tour guides and I was fortunate enough to get to spend time with their family and to eating great meals with them! I was also able to visit with families of two other friends Maria and Theodora and I felt like all I did was eat . . . Maria's Mom makes the best cake! . . . and Theodora's family had so much good food! So, it's always different when you get the chance to visit another country and spend time with natives. I stayed in Larnaka and was able to take in most of the island on ... read more

Monday, 19th January, 2009. The Hotel is a large Seafront resort hotel with lots of facilities. Pat took advantage of the indoor swimming pool and sauna. I had a sleep. We left the room sometime after six and went exploring the Hotel, we found the bar. Pat celebrated our arrival in Cyprus with a couple of glasses of sparkling wine and I had a coke light and a coffee. A number of British people in the bar. We found our way round the rest of the Hotel and then ventured out into local territory. Straight across from the Hotel are several property places, showing places for sale or rent. So we may simply wander over in the morning to start our search. We walked towards the Tourist area, the evening was mild, and a pleasure to ... read more
