Since I am still waiting for my guest bloggers to tell about their time here in Cyprus, I thought I would do a quick recap. Our friends arrived in Cyprus the evening of Dec. 23. We met them at the airport and headed back to our home base, Nicosia. The next day we spent our time in the old section of Nicosia exploring shops, walking the narrow roads, checking out the border crossing, and having some lunch. After our Christmas day celebration, we all went to Limassol to stay for the remainder of their time here. We tried to pack in as much as possible in the short time left, and were really lucky to have great weather. One day we went to Nissi beach, a.k.a. the party beach. It was actually warm enough for those with swimsuits to take a dip in the sea. On other days we went to the famous ancient sites on the island, including the Kourian, the mosaics in Paphos, and Kolossi castle. We checked out the village of Lefkara, famous for its lace making and silver. It is a quaint village with pushy store keepers. We even made a trip to our village, Salamiou. Here are some of my favorite pictures from their time here.
