... battalion diary from the time he was killed - January 1945. Incredible to think this London (Bermondsey) boy was out in the jungle of Burma, fighting the Japanese. What would he think to know his granddaughter would be there out of choice one day. I guess he'd be glad about that. His name was William Whipps - you can look him up on the Commonwealth war graves site.

... He's shown the bottles and a tasting session ensues. He's embarrassed to be wrong. He doesn't know his Rs from his Bs. We're joined at the end of service by Si, Chang and Heung (learnt tonight that it's pronounced hWong - I think). Heung is at the table a long time and the craic is good. She says she can't speak great English. Far from perfect, it's difficult to understand Heung at times, she can be understood by way of applying subject and piecing elements ...

Hotel clean and bright although decoration not new.
Although we have since found out that the hotel was the first to be built in the area, after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and the UN buffer zone being established making Famagusta a ghost town. It was built originally as two blocks then the central section only being added around 10 years ago. Also we have found lot's of holidaymakers appear to return regularly year after year.
Eating
Breakfast
Is taken in the breakfast dining room, good selection of food and drinks from Cereals, fried bacon ,eggs, potatoes, scrambled and boiled eggs too. Good selection of cold meats and cheese, fruit breads and cakes. Ground Coffee(from a machine), chocolate, tea and juices.
Dinner
Is served in the beach front Taverna,which as the evening progresses becomes a romantic setting especially when the moon rises over the small bay it overlooks.
There is a nice selection of starters, salads, meats, and fish with vegetarian alternatives. There is plenty of sweets and fruit available and real custard with the apple crumble.
Room
Our Twin bedded ground floor room with en-suite cleaned daily. Basic, clean but tired, but this part of the hotel is yet to be re-furbished.
A Fridge is an extra €20 a week and is very useful, a safety deposit box €12 per week.
Pool
Not as big as it looks on Google Earth, but warmer than the sea and that was warm (bottom temperature when diving 24°and higher at 12 metres). No lifeguard on duty at anytime. The animation team do daily Aquarobics and they get in the pool too (unlike in Sharm).
Animation
There is a four person crew employed by the hotel
They do a morning and afternoon program of games, then often in the evening put on a show when there is not an outside entertainer booked
Pernera
Locally a number of shops and bars all vying for custom but not as brashly as Protaras, you are occasionally greeted but usually only by a hello. For those not on half board or more there are good offers and menus available of varying cuisine's although English and Cypriot prevail.
