Napa Prince Hotel Ayia Napa

... feeling in the world knowing I am going to get on the flight and a few bad apple gate agents don't treat me like I am some smeared piece of dog excrement just because I am trying to fly standby on my pass and I am making them have to work. You airline people out there know what I am talking about, right!!!???

But the best thing about today was flying on my favorite jet of all time...the BAe 146. If you are into aviation you know the plane and I won't ...

... of a National Enquirer at Publix because fringe kooks don't want the other 99% of us to live our lives. I am kinda partial to the European way of just letting it all hang out in the open. If you want to look, go for it. If not, look away and shut up. Amazing that in 20 years Bulgaria has opened up and we continue to go backwards.

And after leaving Billa, turn right and next door is a tiny storefront selling the latest in cheap ...

All packing and cleaning is underway !!! Only 36 or so hours left before we hit the tarmac at Larnaca !! Just need to get the dog wormed and de-flead (not that he has them !), groomed and then buy him a travel box for the flight !

Fingers crossed all our accommodation arrangements have been made for Athens and Samothraki !

... all just fit and seemed perfect. On the return to Paphos we spotted
the spot where Aphrodite was born from the sea and her temple up on a
cliff. It was a very long day but one filled with several
interesting sites. I almost forgot...in Larnaka we happened upon the
church of St.. Lazarus where he was finally laid to rest.

... from thirst. There are few dog shelters on the island but they just don't have the capacity or funds to cope with the number of dogs being brought in or picked up. The Sotira Dog Shelter near Ayia Thekla is run by a Cypriot lady called Eleni. A London-trained opera singer, she has devoted her life to helping these animals. Unfortunately for many of the dogs their lives are only extended for a couple of weeks after arriving at the shelter. If they are ...

Layover in Larnaca, Cyprus We take a very long bus ride to the airport. After 1 hr of waiting in the waiting room we were informed that the reason we were delayed was we were waiting for the Holy Flame from jeruselum. Who would of guessed!!!!!!!!! So after about 20 minutes we are told we could go board the plane. So we get on and I am stuck next ...

... single member of the choir was so thankful for this experience they had.....some of the people travelling for the first time to Cyprus. The people of the choir of Paralimni were so kind and helpful to everyone of us..... and me as a Cyriot felt proud for this warm wellcome we received from these people.The president Mr. Stavros Stavrou is the heart of the choir. After the Festival we were taken to a nice restaurant with both Greek and Cypriot ...

... swimming or sunbathing, but I am a bit disappointed because I am with the impression up to now that the Fig Tree Bay, is what I see infront of me from the Hotel's room. A BIG MISTAKE!!! I discovered in the following trip I had here, that the beach is extended on the other side of the fig tree. Following the small narrow road that leads to other hotels, you come to a long beach with the same colours and quality. It is open sea, calm crystal waters, for every ...

LARNACA It is July, and we have come to the Island I love again. We are spending 3 nights in a nice hotel in Larnaca, enjoying the sunshine, having some quick visits to relatives, but mostly we are on the beach. The reason I am at this hotel this time is because I enjoy the early morning jogging by the beach. People from Larnaca, as well as tourists walk early in the morning and late in the afternoon ...

29th The plane landed early in the afternoon, and the trip was long and quite tiring. I could not get a moment's sleep, but it is ok. I am getting used to it, especially if I am going to have another 10 days in Cyprus. Luckily I have no summer lessons this year. 31st August, flying to Cyprus. September is considered to be the BEST summer month for Cyprus. Not much heat and humidity, and coolness in the evening. Just what I need. I am ...
