Day 6 rainy day in cyprus

Back to the walking today...

Weather bit different today...windy and cloudy...and there's more...the buses are on strike !!! 

So we were hoping to go to Coral Bay today, and we've even checked the private excursions and wouldnt you know it,   non going there today either
Oh well good job we like walking

A beautiful if not bracing walk round the coast.... watching the waves start to roll in from way back on the horizon...many not making it too the shore line ...breaking into torrents of white Froth and bubbles....others racing for the shoreline and crashing against the rocks throwing themselves high into the air....

innocent walkers caught off guard as the waves crash over the walkway....

We rewarded ourselves with a snack giving us an escape from the now quite chilly wind.  

As the afternoon rolled into the evening the winds got stronger and brought with it rain... complete with thunder and lightening...the long awaited storm had arrived in its splendour.....

So we decided to eat in the restaurant of the Amphora ( where we were stopping )..

 As we tucked into a delicious moussaka ...from the elevated position in the restaurant, we could watch the lightening flashing across the mountains in the distance.... quite an impressive show.... 

And the meal was delicious complete with a lovly glass of Red red wine...mmmm

So the prayers of the nuns in the monastery have been answered...we were reliably in formed that there day consists of praying for rain which the island has a shortage of.... well dun sisters.                                                                                                        
But all too soon( at least for the locals and the nuns who had been praying continuosly for rain )  the storm had blew over and the evening had returned to its calm and still horizon....
