Saturday 12th July 2014 A very lazy day. Some people didn’t get out of bed until nearly 2 in the afternoon. Some washing was done, but most of the day was spent in or around the pool. That evening we went out to Molos restaurant again. The food here is pretty amazing. It was so good we […]
The Boat Trip
The last adventure day of the holiday. We had hired a speed boat from Latchi Watersports. The boat which was called Dave the Knave was a 6.8m 150HP beast, complete with ice box and snorkelling gear. After a thorough briefing by the staff we were taken outside of the harbour and let loose. Our first […]
The Last Thursday
Thursday 10th July 2014 An early start for Dad and Ben as Ben was of for a morning of diving. After dropping Ben off at half eight in the morning he now takes over the blog… I was going to be diving with Steve who had been my instructor for previous dives and lessons. Once […]
The Troodos Mountains
Tuesday 8th July 2014 Tuesday was supposed to be a rest day. The plan was to just do some washing, get some shopping in and just laze around the pool. Dad had different ideas though. After an hour spent checking timings and routes he announced that we were heading into the Troodos mountains to visit […]
Polis
Our first full Monday started nice and slowly. Breakfast eaten we made our way to Polis. The aim of the day was to see Polis old town, the museum, have some lunch and do some shopping at the supermarket. The first part of the journey into Polis was interesting as we negotiated some challenging corners […]
The end of the first week
Well, day 3 hit us with a high of 38 degrees… A very lazy day spent lazing around the pool with dad doing a bit of exploration (more on that later). The Villa’s gardeners made an appearance tidying up and generally making everything look good. Ben spent most of the day revising all of his […]
Cyprus – The First Few Days
Well, after a very warm nights sleep dad was the first of the grown ups to try the swimming pool. But, we couldn’t relax as we had the villa’s agents coming around to go through the villa’s facilities and what to do in the local area. This was followed by the Car Hire company sending around […]
Cyprus – The Journey Out
Well, what can we say. The journey should have started uneventfully but the first hurdle was the pre-booked parking automated barrier not recognising the number of the car… 5 minutes with a queue of beeping cars building up behind us. The next thing was the Aer Lingus desk staff wanting us to change our flight […]
France – Day 13
The last full day in France. A bit of a lazy day. Everybody was up fairly early (before midday). There was some shopping done so we could get the makings of a BBQ. Simon came along and helped while buying a stack of stuff to take home with him. The rest of the day was […]
France – Day 12
A very early start with Bruce being surprised by the boys being up and showered. Even more surprising was when the boys offerred to start getting breakfast ready… You can probably tell that Ben and Simon were off on a boys trip out. Even better the trip was a return visit to the Tree Tops […]
