Miramare Beach Hotel And Resort Limassol

... was very friendly and helpful. The local beer was very nice. Keo. The waiter showed us some other places on our map to go visit while we walked around. Had a look at a local fruit and vege market which was quite good but much the same as ours only with a few different products like dates, little fish etc. Headed back on the shuttle at 2pm which was long enough. Had a rest and then went to Oasis to watch sail out. Clocks back 1 hour and I don't know why.

Cyprus was never on our list of places to go or see for that matter, as it is so far off coarse. But Cyprus is now where we find ourselves, as this is were boats from Israel land. After all the horns, hustle and bustle that is the Middle East it is quite refreshing to be back in a European country where we don't get asked constantly to look into someone's shop, hassled all day long and Shona can ...

... hard to find a
church, although in retrospect we could have tried a bit harder. We
got into Limassol and once again struggled a bit trying to find the
hotel but we managed. We went out for a wander and lunch and then
had a leisurely afternoon by the pool. That night we discovered the
old castle and tried the meat mezze. It was a nice night and
Limassol proved to be a worthwhile stop in Cyprus.

... Some of the shallow baths had elaborte tile pictures on the bottoms which in their day would have been gorgeous, great attention to detail. We stopped for wine, bread & cheese tasting at a little village in their wine country called Omodos. After that we had a quick look through the shops with their various arts, crafts and jewellery. They specialise in lace work. There was also a ...

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 ...

POLSKI: Deszczowy dzien na trzeciej najwiekszej wyspie Morza Srodziemnego. Moj pierwszy raz na Cyprze. Z portu w Limassolu do regionu Nikozji jedzie sie autokarem jakas godzine. Trudno okreslic, co to tak naprawde jest - miasto, region, czy osobne panstwo, za co niektorzy lokalni mieszkancy sie uwazaja. Faktem jest, ze w srodku miasta stoja szlabany i jesli przejdziesz przez granice, mozesz miec problemy z powrotem. Poza calkiem ladna, europejsko ...

We set off quite early to drive up to the Kykos Monestary, one of the more famous monestaries high up in the mountains where Archbishop Makarios retired to and is buried (he was the first and fourth president of Cyprus). We took our time driving up, the roads are good but very twisting, and there are some magnificent views that should be stopped at to take in properly. On the way up the mountains we ...

After 4 days of continuous travel to different cities and countries a day close apart and waking up early at 6 a.m. for the past 3 days, we welcome the day at sea - to rest and relax until the much awaited day for Egypt! Tonight was our second formal night and it was nice to dress up & take lots of pictures of the group inside the ship.

We came to Cyprus, this time but instead of having beach holidays, we thought of spending a week, up on the Mountains of Troodos first, and have two more weeks down in other hotels next to the beach. My house is in Larnaca, but I always choose to stay in a hotel ...
