... again of my childhood.

This little church is situated just a couple of miles from Larnaca, near Aradipou.
It is on the old road of Larnaca-Nicosia.
Difficult for me to recognize the area because the village of Aradipou has so much stretched out and it is as if it has been united with Larnaca.
Everything is so different now, I believe the church is found very near the industrial area.
I can't see the fields we ...

... as they will reach their homes after midnight.

What they are brought is just plain junkfood, and the owner and staff are very arrogant.

We are talking to them and they pretend they are listening to us, but without talking at all or reacting to what we tell them.


Most of my friends complain about the junkfood being brought to them, but instead, both the staff and the owner seem to walk around ...

The long watches of the nights without sleep, hoping that parachutists won’t be dropped in our city ...

... and that is a change for me, too. This place is dirt cheap and suits my needs just fine though...I just miss being around other travelers seeking the same adventures since I am traveling alone this week.

So in my quest to crack this nut I visited 4 rental car joints in town and each had a three day minimum. No one would rent for just a day. One guy offered me a moped but it had to stay in the city limits and even that was $60. Hell no. I am not ...

But back to my point...Billa provides a shopping experience I have never before seen in a supermarket. Just when I think I have seen it all, I find one of those travel experiences in some Bulgarian grocery store underground next to the subway station. All right there grouped together next to the registers (manned by dour matrons) where we would keep the tic tacs and magazines were mints ...
