48) Giant Rock throwing or Rock throwing Giant

Yesterday we changed rooms after breakfast (the one we had been given was great but too much of a slope getting to it) this one is near to reception and the pool.

In the afternoon we went out driving to the Baths of Aphrodite, great drive, gardens and pools.
This morning was an early breakfast and then a drive to Limassol, some fantastic views along the coast, the best being Aphrodite's Rocks where tradition has it that the Giant Romios threw Rocks at Arab pirates. (he must have been some giant, they are massive).

I am finding that the warm weather is doing us all good, my back pain is a lot less than normal, and that's after nearly 2 weeks without steroids (they start again on Monday).

  1. Sounds like your hol has got off to a good start and we're sure you'll be making the most of it. We've never been to Cyprus [bit tricky with a caravan!!] so you can tell us all about it at supper club.
    Keep on enjoying yourselves!
    Love from Sue and Dave.

  2. The views are spectacular aren't they? Glad you are enjoying it all, especially the warmth. Don't forget to go and look at St Paul's pillar at the Church in Paphos that does run a chill down the spine when you think of the suffering he bore at that spot. Well, Ivan, we'll just go and get the scarves, gloves and boots on and head for sunny(!) Northwich. Have a good day.
