... where some gifts are waiting for everyone on each seat. <br><br>Our first destination is a visit to Lefkara. <br>It is the 28th of October, and every single village in both Cyprus and Greece is celebrating. It is a National holiday, and is the big -Ohi- or "No Day",( the refusal of Greece in 1940 to allow Italian fascist troops into the country). <br>On this day, all public schools organize a parade where the best student of the school ...

Happy 6th Birthday to Zak. Caught the shuttle but into town which was a long way from the ship and it was quite hot, so we didn't walk. Had a look at an old Castle but couldn't take photos so decided not to go right inside. Walked up and down and around all the streets. Went down to the waterfront which had a huge park right along it on the other side of the road. No beach; it was all rocks but quite pretty and relaxing. We had lunch in a Greek cafe where the ...

... way you enter Cyprus is the way you must leave, otherwise the Republic of Cyprus will consider it illegal. <br><br>Talk about political hotbeds. We have just left one and entered another, tourist are just sometimes a porn in their games, when all we want is to just travel freely and see what a country has to offer. <br><br>Tomorrow we head to Northern Cyprus in search of sand, oh and an escape route.

<br>Friday, July 3rd,<br>2009&#8212;Troodos and Limassol<br>On the drive to Limassol we decided to<br>take the detour through the Troodos mountains in hopes of seeing some<br>nice scenery and perhaps the painted churches of Troodos. <br>Unfortunately all we discovered were poorly signed roads and more<br>winding mountain highway. The ride was spectacular but a little<br>disappointed once we had reached Troodos. It ...

14.04.09 Up early again and off in a bus for tour of Curium a Roman site of importance with ruins from ancient structures, which were demolished by an earthquake and have been parially restored. There was also a Roman Ampitheatre only the first 2 rows and the secret entrance underground were original the rest had been reconstructed. Used for lion, beer, boar fights, later they added water ...

50 weeks ago, I did something that ****** Lucy off. I went one country in front of her, and for the last 50 weeks, I have had to listen to her, how she needed to catch up, I even threw new countries in her face, but that didn't help, all she wanted to do was get level, and as her birthday was coming up, she went and made the decision, bought the flights, and finally, she was going to Cyprus. Now I'm not going to bore you all with a ...

This will be an on-going series about life in Ecuador. There are a lot of things to be aware of and which websites like International Living and Escape Artist don't dare mention. (These two website are perhaps the most popular for those who want to live, work and retire abroad.) Excerpts from my diary... Friday January 30, 2009 I tried to call my lawyer about Jayne's visa. I was told by her last week that she would get a ...

... stopped at an enclosure accomodating some Mouflons - a sheep-goat animal that is apparently unique to Cyprus. They are very shy but we spotted some after a while. We arrived at Kykos for lunch &amp; had a delicious good-value meal at the cafeteria. This place is set up to process coach-loads of tourists. A benefit of coming off-season, there weren't any! There were quite a few people but not a ...

... And if your hotel is in a city, you can get to many places on foot. If you have to take a taxi, the minimum cost is now 3 Cyprus Pounds (Cy P). As a side note they have switched over to the euro. But the cost is equivalent. If you are coming from the States, you better bring a lot of money as the dollar is losing money every week. In euros this is about $7.80! Ouch, that hurts! It goes without saying the cost is ...

... DAYS IN KAKOPETRIA<br><br><br><br>Relaxing week, enjoying my 2 hour walks in the afternoon, not knowing that a week later the whole area where we live in Greece would catch fire, and our house would have 13.000 euro damage!<br><br><br><br>We left Cyprus urgently, and flew back when my son announced what had happened. We caught the first flight and return urgently to Athens ...
