Hotel Grecian Bay Ayia Napa

... for it himself. I don't need some overweight Greek man undressing me and I decided to mess around with him. Slooowing down the process as much as I could was awesome because the slower I undid the belt from my jeans, the more he started bouncing. "Wallet, wallet, wallet, wallet" was his next command followed by him reaching
for my shoes. I'd say I wasted about four minutes of his time and it was just great watching him come unhinged.

There ...

... D cell batteries, condoms, lube, lighters and cigarettes. Now how is that for before, during and after needs all in one stop?

There is a lesson to be learned here from all this. Think about it for a moment...20 years ago this type of display much less selection in Bulgaria would have been unthinkable under communism. In 2009 in our supposed home of the free such a display still is unthinkable. I mean we can't even look at the ...

All packing and cleaning is underway !!! Only 36 or so hours left before we hit the tarmac at Larnaca !! Just need to get the dog wormed and de-flead (not that he has them !), groomed and then buy him a travel box for the flight !

Fingers crossed all our accommodation arrangements have been made for Athens and Samothraki !

... all just fit and seemed perfect. On the return to Paphos we spotted
the spot where Aphrodite was born from the sea and her temple up on a
cliff. It was a very long day but one filled with several
interesting sites. I almost forgot...in Larnaka we happened upon the
church of St.. Lazarus where he was finally laid to rest.

... in high season the place becomes Europe's clubbing capital. Inland villages provide most of the necessities required by the large expat community who reside here favouring the pleasant year round climate. During our visit the farmers were harvesting the potatoes; I have to say the Cypriot new potatoes are probably the best potatoes in the world. It must be the rich, red soil around these parts. We visited Nicosia, just over an hour away from ...

Layover in Larnaca, Cyprus We take a very long bus ride to the airport. After 1 hr of waiting in the waiting room we were informed that the reason we were delayed was we were waiting for the Holy Flame from jeruselum. Who would of guessed!!!!!!!!! So after about 20 minutes we are told we could go board the plane. So we get on and I am stuck next ...

... waters make the difference. The white sand, and the calmliness of the sea. The sea here is not blue...it's light crystal turquoise!!! You won't find similar beaches on any other part of the island. I visited the zoo, - but felt sorry for those poor crocodiles lying desperately in the sun. I pitied them! I wish I could do something for them....There is a nice aquarium too in Paralimni worth to be visited. Don't miss it if you are there. Another ...

... quite small. Of course there is a nice view but still I wanted it to be a bit more spacious. Besides, we shall be living here for 7 nights !!! The days spent here are relaxing, and most of the time we are down the beach. The funny thing is that although I love this bay here, yet I find that there is not a place for walking and jogging, a thing that I love doing early every morning when I go out and walk for 8 kms. All these days here are spent idling around and ...

... This is a sport I love, and this is the reason why I am here. The beach is called MAKENZIE, and it is just 800metrs from the city centre of Larnaca. It is a place which actually looks like a small park at the end of the city, just 3 km from the airport. It has palm trees, and many nice restaurants for a night out. Centrally located, and ideal for tourists who want to enjoy real Mediterranean holidays!

29th The plane landed early in the afternoon, and the trip was long and quite tiring. I could not get a moment's sleep, but it is ok. I am getting used to it, especially if I am going to have another 10 days in Cyprus. Luckily I have no summer lessons this year. 31st August, flying to Cyprus. September is considered to be the BEST summer month for Cyprus. Not much heat and humidity, and coolness in the evening. Just what I need. I am ...
