Hi, it's all about the adventure... ((*_*)) 
Jul 06, 2011 06:00 PM Corporate challenge
Absolutely nothing to do with travel, but I recently completed a 5k run and was exhilarated by the experience. I’ve never been a runner but it felt good training and then finally achieving my goal.

Sep 26, 2010 06:00 PM Back to the Uk
OMG what a wonderful few day. Cyprus is really brilliant; the weather is perfect, the restaurants are fab, and the people are great. I could definitely go back one of these days; if only just to explore Paphos.

Sep 25, 2010 06:00 PM Another day at the beach
Larnaca's beach is also very popular; but less so than Aya Napa. I went early morning when this were still clear and it was lovely. The water felt perfect.

Sep 24, 2010 06:00 PM It's beach time
Finally I get a chance to hit the beach and where better then down to Aya Napa. Yet another bus ride away. The towns along the way are really worth a visit. I saw some of the best churches ever, really rustic and old, but fantastic buildings.
It turned out the beach I chose had too many umbrellas, too many towels, and definitely too many people. So I decided to head off shore for a little solo fun. A nice boat ride and then some parasailing.

Sep 23, 2010 06:00 PM Heading to Turkey
I misssed the bus for Nicosia and I hadn' realised that Lefkosia was the same place. So had breakfast on the beach as I waited for the next bus at 11am.
After wondering around for a while, I head for the border crossing, and headed into the other side of the city to the Turkey side of the island. The divide is signicant, even just cross the border. On the Greek side, the houses have been maintained, but on the Turkish side, you can still see the scars of the conflict.
The bus broke down on the way back, so I was stuck outside the city for twenty minutes.

Sep 22, 2010 06:00 PM Day trippers....
I wanted to take a three day cruise to holy land, however owing to the end of season I misssed the final sailing. So instead I decided to do a day trip.
This trip was totally regmented, from the time they picked me up from my hotel until the time I got back I had little say of what was happening. In the airport I had to pass through so many different security checks, asking me more or less the same questions. But I though it was funny that the chartered airline was Arkia. So I'm sure I can now I was aboard the Ark in Israel. It is semantic that it wasn't Noah's Ark.

Sep 21, 2010 06:00 PM Bus ride to Limassol
From the promenade you can get a bus all over the island. The main ones I saw was to Aya Napa, Nicosia, Famgusta and off course Limassol.
The buses are comfortable, so with a/c and some of the small ones without. They run on the hour, stop for lunch and then start up again in the afternoon, to bright all the tourist back from their various destinations.
Limassol is a wonderful city to explore, navagating throught the streets is brilliant but the best thing is the restaurants. Varied but very atmospheric.
My favourite site was the old Castle, and finding the old olive presses.

Sep 20, 2010 06:00 PM Landing in Larnaca
Hmmmm Cyprus, the weather is sooooooo hot I can't believe it, so I seem to be trying to move from one shaded area to another. My god, I can't believe the sun can be so hot.
I have decided just to walk around the town. But soon resign myself to the fact that I just want to sit, eat ice cream and watch the world go by. It does help that I'm on the promenade and gazing out to sea.

Sep 19, 2010 06:00 PM Watching the sun rise
Arrived early morning and waited in the airport until the first bus started running. While at the bus stop I watched the a few planes landing as the sun started to rise. It really is a lovely time of the day. Funny when I'm at home I never see the sun rise....
Got the bus down town for a few euros and after sweet talking the driver he dropped me off at my hotel. Well the hotel was on the main road, but it did feel like my person driver.
