... an old English **** in a wheelchair with a giant plastic bag containing something he had purchased and this same security guy reached for it. The old man told him to be careful because it was fragile and the old man even made motions not to crush the bag. Mr. Grab At Everything took these motions to mean go ahead and please do crush it and throw it in the trash can. Which he actually did right before our astonished eyes and that old man jumped out of that ...
Larnaca, Cyprus atlpilot36... unlike here where it's all out in the open.
But back to my point...Billa provides a shopping experience I have never before seen in a supermarket. Just when I think I have seen it all, I find one of those travel experiences in some Bulgarian grocery store underground next to the subway station. All right there grouped together next to the registers (manned by dour matrons) where we would keep the tic tacs and magazines were mints ...
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 !

This began one of the longest driving
days of the entire trip. If you get the chance look at a map of
Cyprus. We left Nicosia and headed to Agia Napa. En route we
stopped at a fishing village and several famous beaches. From there
we headed to Larnaka where following conflicting signs to the
Larnaca, Cyprus

... Thekla on the very well-maintained dual carriageway. Nicosia is known locally as Lefkosia and is the world's last divided capital. The barbed wire and guard towers of the Green Line cut the town in two, with the northern side being the capital of the self-proclaimed Northern Cyprus and the southern half being the capital of the Republic of Cyprus. The division occurred following an attempted coup to unite the island with Greece in 1974 which led ...

Larnaca, Cyprus grossmanjh... spot is the very Old Church in the centre of the city just where the buses stop. It 's worth visiting as well!! The port is also a nice spot to be visited with restaurants and vendors selling their goods everywhere. The smell of Kalamari, and fresh fish on the grill is everywhere. Octapus hanging outside the restaurants....waiting for tourists to enjoy the Cypriot OUZO or Wine. There is also another alternative of something stronger to drink....this ...
PARALIMNI, Cyprus greekcypriot... 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 ...
Protaras, Cyprus greekcypriotLARNACA 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 ...
Larnaca, Cyprus greekcypriot29th 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 ...
