... interested in visiting the Cypriot capital of Nicosia, known as Europe&#8217;s last divided city since 1974 when the Greek Cypriot National Guard ousted the president provoking Turkey to send troops to protect their interests on the island. Since then, a Green Line has divided the Turks in the north and the Greeks in the south. <br><br>Highlights of Cyprus<br><br>1. At the Cathedral of St. John in Nicosia, we saw the most amazing paintings ...

... village coffee house, also waiting to hear the drums and music, a sign that the parade is coming. <br>Soon it is a fact. We hear the drums and all drop what we are doing and get to the side of the narrow streets to watch the parade coming. <br><br>You can see that pople are moved to tears. As the drums and parade approach, the beat gets louder, and the moment the parade passes from each one of us, it is so special. I see my friends getting ...

... an "illegal" border crossing. We wouldn't want any evidence in our passports, would we? For some reason that stamp into the Turkish part could actually cause someone to be denied into back into Cyprus if the passport were ever to be checked.<br><br>To cross I had to register with the Turkish border police and get my stamp. Then leaving the "country" I had to present the piece of paper and my passport again to show that I was leaving. Can I count this ...

... we set of walking from 'the flag' in what was perfect weather for the trip. The route was well marked and passed through bare ground and some fairly newly planted forest. At one point we passed by a large rock face where birds which we couldn't name had made there nests in the many caves. We took a tentative look at the quarry from the top but didn't venture to close as the edge looked very unsafe. This quarry is a lot bigger from the mountain view side than ...

... the vehicle our "leader" told us how far we had walked, it was a bit further than we all thought thus the sore legs. We all jumped in and set off to collect the 'start vehicle' from the start point and hopefully a café for a tea or coffee. Driving down the coast road we decided to stop at the Horse Shoe Bay café but it was closed and so were the two at Guzelyali. Next port of call my house in Lapta for that welcome cup of tea. A good day was had by all!!

... change from all the Greek ruins I had seen. It turned out to be pretty small and pretty boring. The second was the Time Elevator. It sounds corny, but it's supposed to be a good virtual tour of the very long and extensive history of Cyprus which dates back to 8500 BC. I spent about an hour in the blazing hot sun searching for the place only to find out that it had been scrapped about 6 months ago for some unknown reason. (Perhaps because there are ...

... rescue donkeys, but now they get more 'retired' ones near the end of their working life. Also if an elderly donkey owner dies and they have no children to take responsibility, the phone rings to arrange a pick up. I was taken to see them getting their regular foot treatment where stones are picked out their hooves followed by a good filling down - like clipping toe nails except some have a habit of ...

... I found the city easy enough, as ye do, but it was a bit of a mission to find the hostel. It being a lovely Sunday afternoon the tourist office was closed. A helpful shopkeeper directed me to a B&B nearby. He was a little expensive, 15 pounds. He also agreed that although there was a hostel he wasn't sure where it was.Try near the British Consulate. He would say that wouldn't he. I did so and asked a few more people. I got vague directions, but no-one was too sure. In the ...
