... fair takes place on the 13th -14th September, in celebration of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. <br><br><br>OUR VISIT TO THE VILLAGE: <br><br>The choir is arriving early this morning, and I am at the airport waiting for them to come off the plane, together with Mr. Koutsoulides Dimitris- a member of the host choir. <br>For many of them, this is their first trip to Cyprus, and every time I am here in Larnaca I promise myself to do ...

... was very friendly and helpful. The local beer was very nice. Keo. The waiter showed us some other places on our map to go visit while we walked around. Had a look at a local fruit and vege market which was quite good but much the same as ours only with a few different products like dates, little fish etc. Headed back on the shuttle at 2pm which was long enough. Had a rest and then went to Oasis to watch sail out. Clocks back 1 hour and I don't know why.

... way out is to go to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and try and get a ferry to main land Turkey. We have tried asking people in the Republic about this, but this is taboo. No one in the Republic (except our drunk hostelier, who really doesn't give reliable information) will talk about Northern Cyprus let alone tell you how to get out of there. <br><br>OH! and by the way the rule is ...

... hard to find a<br>church, although in retrospect we could have tried a bit harder. We<br>got into Limassol and once again struggled a bit trying to find the<br>hotel but we managed. We went out for a wander and lunch and then<br>had a leisurely afternoon by the pool. That night we discovered the<br>old castle and tried the meat mezze. It was a nice night and<br>Limassol proved to be a worthwhile stop in Cyprus.<br>

... Some of the shallow baths had elaborte tile pictures on the bottoms which in their day would have been gorgeous, great attention to detail. We stopped for wine, bread &amp; cheese tasting at a little village in their wine country called Omodos. After that we had a quick look through the shops with their various arts, crafts and jewellery. They specialise in lace work. There was also a ...

... quite new compared to the others, but still nice. The paintings are amazing, but I still don't understand them. The majority of churches are locked up, but there always is St Nikolaos. Simply beautiful the paintingss in there. I saw last year, and once again it reminded me of the churches in Romania. Lucy took a sneaky photo. Oh well, it was her birthday !!! As it got later, we ended up in a little town with another old church ...

... does have a lot business but her customers are not take care as they should. Talking to Richard, I told him that Jayne's time for leaving on her old visa is up February 15. He told me that the government dragged its feet in getting one of his workers (who is from Cuba) his visa and it cost him (meaning Richard) $200. This might happen with Jayne. I think it's deliberate so the government can make an extra $200. What crooks!

We set off quite early to drive up to the Kykos Monestary, one of the more famous monestaries high up in the mountains where Archbishop Makarios retired to and is buried (he was the first and fourth president of Cyprus). We took our time driving up, the roads are good but very twisting, and there are some magnificent views that should be stopped at to take in properly. On the way up the mountains we ...

... they run less frequently and if they do have a taxi van going say, 5.00pm, it might be filled up. Always plan in advance. If you plan to go to another major location in another city, you would be better off taking the bus, as the price is a little cheaper and you won't have to wait until everyone is dropped off (as you stop might be the last one). Car Rental There is the old standby of car rental. This will be the ...
