Ohhhh, life is good! :cheers

That will teach you to go to the "ghetto" Brian. ;)

This was us down on the grass by the beach yesterday afternoon at the Cyprotel Poseidonia Beach Hotel in Limassol. Today was very still with hardly any breeze at all too. But there had been some rain in the early hours as we could see the roads were wet when we got up this morning.

We booked a couple of nights on half board at the same hotel as my parents without telling them. Back at home now and all back to normal.

Hotel was okay but nothing to shout about.

you have lucky parents...

for our next trip [which will probably be 2/3 yrs if i get a job] we were looking at going back to the east coast, but looking on google earth at the amount of development between Kave Greko and the green line i am having Doubts if we will find that little bit of traditional Cypriot experience we prefer,

did you see my thoughts on our last holiday in the CM letters page last week?

If your surname begins with "W" I think you may find I "pressed" it on my CyprusLifeinpicture wordpress blog under Letters on Cyprus category here: http://wp.me/p1uja5-1Ql

I was also asked what my own thoughts were from one of my Facebook friends and this is what I replied:
We were in Paphos around the 3rd week in November for a couple of days and I have to say I do agree with the comments although I can't say I saw lots of property adverts in Mandarin.... The Russians have been buying property in Cyprus for several years so that's no surprise. However, we did notice many places (shops, bars and restaurants) are either closed or empty but it's the "norm" that a number of places close for the winter months but not usually before Christmas.
Paphos has never really appealed to us as a permanent residence - it has the wrong "feel" for us. A bit like living in a holiday somnambulance and that isn't what we needed at our age. We're still too young for the retiree expat lifestyle that seems to be quite particular to Paphos.
I'm glad we chose Limassol. Neither of us feel we would still be in Cyprus 9 years later if we had chosen Paphos.

I thought it may have been you when I read the letter in the Cyprus Mail. ;)
