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 ...

... what ever she wants. The only drawback is that we are back to a tight budget. Still cheaper than Israel. <br><br>We have spent the last few days in Limassol, in the Republic of Cyprus trying to figure away off this little island, but unfortunately we have come to a dead end. There is no way out from this side unless you fly (which after having come all this way we don't really want to). The only ...

<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 ...

... had alligator fights and finally for theatre, plays and music. Perfect acoustics. Next stop was Apollo's Temple again in the throws of being restored. They have reconstucted the temple at the end of the holy/sacred road and there are old aquaducts bringing water and drains to take away the dirty water etc from the baths. There were several public baths from stone cold to med temp and ...

... other ****. Had I missed it for a couple of minutes? God no !!! We followed the Green line on this side as well, just as impressive. We also went up a tower, to look from above, and as I said before, St Sopia the mosque stood out, above all. Day 4 Back into the Troodos moutains we went. Once up the top, the snow was bucketing down, so Lucy ran around, celebrating her birthday. Once in, we drove down to Kykkos Monastery. Still the ...

He plans to move there and start a business but he can put his money there before he actually moves. Anyhow, I asked Richard what Maria's office phone number is and he gave it to me. it was the same that I had, so I called again and again I got 'the number is incorrect.' I don't see how Maria can do good business. I think ...

... Kykos we drove on a bit to a little village called Pedolas which has an incredibly old Byzantine church. It also has a musum stuffed full of icons from various local churches. The museum and church are owned and run by people who live in the village and we met a couple of real characters! We drove back to Polis &amp; were back in time for dinner at one of the restaurants in the town. Lovely day!

... his list of places to stop, he will travel the roads to get to the places in the most logical order. So, it can be another 30 minutes waiting in the van while everyone gets to their destination before you are left off. One tip is to tell the driver that you would like to be picked up at this address in such and such a time or the closest time that is convenient for them. It's good to do this as later in the ...

... br><br><br><br>Two or three times I visited Kakopetria, with the choir, but the coach was so huge that it was not possible to enter the village, so every time I happened to be up here it was just seeing Kakopetria through a distance.
