Waking up in beautiful cyprus

The island with a reputed 300 days of sunshine per year 😎

Now don't misunderstand me....I'm not being ungrateful but when I drew back the curtains this morning on the first day in Cyprus....what presented itself was RAIN !!   Yes u haven't misread it Rain.... 🌦☔

Now my hubby already thinks its a bad idea coming to Cyprus in December....  and this is NOT helping!!!!

So lets do this   

We enjoyed an adequate breakfast in the restaurant of The Amphora Hotel... which was sorrounded by floor to ceiling glass windows... which as you can imagine gave a fab view pretty much from every angle

The hotel is set in the most amazing position....on the beach with the gardens leading to the beautiful  rocky coast line looking down to the beautiful clear waters that is Cyprus....even with the rain this is the most beautiful sight...
The hotel is clean and modern..
the rooms have modern bathroom ...kettle restocked daily with coffee teas etc....
 not fussy..and not many frills
but hey, who needs frills when you have Cyprus
we were lucky and had a large balcony again sorrounded on 3 sides by a glass exterior which had amazing views across the rocky coastline and far across the med...
aafter breakfast we decided to go for a walk... yes brolly and all

We headed toward Pafos harbour... ( from hotel to start of harbour was about a mile ) admiring the beautiful hotels along the way and continued round the coast line past the castle and toward the lighthouse....


The beautifully clean bars and cafes along the way looked inviting and afer several requests by cheerful staff we gladly accepted and stopped for refreshments

Even with the rain there was still a few joggers and other walkers about...the rain started to clear about an hour or so into our walk the sun had soon got her hat on .....

     now thats what im talking about....

It started with a flight....

I am en route to my cheeky 7 day break to Cyprus ....wiv the hubby
Boeing 737 with Thomson 

So found my seat ...it's a plus ...its a window seat

.Not too long and bar service is imminent.... time to chill..

.Nice glass of red....don't mind if I do 

And there's more.... but not exactly what I was expecting!!!!!
The hubby has been snoozing...( nothing new there ) he wakes up in a bit of a daze and manages to drown me in...
Yes u guessed it...Red red wine....and no I'm not feeling one bit fine....
clumsy #######
No he didn't keep a straight face...
'Getting it down ye r ye ? ...You shud ov drunk it quicker! ' he sed

Cinzano bianco comes to mind for those who r old enough to remember it.    
Thank The Lord I put the dark jeans on and not the lovly cream trousers!!!
Every cloud got a silver lining

The beauty of this island...day 2

2nd day and the sun has got her hat on...

 Breathtaking ...no other words for the beautiful coastline of Cyprus




So we decided to walk in to pafos across the coastline...
 A good stretch of the legs 
( my muscles are still aching from.  yesterdays walk... )
( About 20-25 mins along get the beach or an hr if u keep stopping to admire the beautiful sights !!  About 15 minutes walk if you take the road route....perfectly safe...even in the evening )






But worth every minute, soaking up the sights whilst the warm winter sun glistens across the  crystal clear waters gently bathing  the rocks in white foam as the tide comes in.



And there's more...there is always more beauty to behold on this beautiful island at every turn.....

Not yet lunch time but already an odd few fisherman patiently playing the waiting game...lines poised across the craggy rocks....baskets sat alongside.

I truly believe i could just keep walking and walking and never tire of seeing the breathtaking beauty which is Cyprus......The Lord did well when he made this beautiful Island

Yes I think its fair to say I'm in love.....

Get out of jail card !!!

We all know that feeling....the day comes when we can get out of a situation that we dont particularly like 

And yep, you guessed it, it dosnt feel quite like we thought it would....

A Bitter Sweet Moment

but,  just as quite often is the case, the get out of jail card is not all its cracked up to be!!!!
it also comes with conditions..... consequences....

cus lets face it everything that glistens is not gold

Note to oneself yet again !!!!

and to use yet another cliche..... (sorry)

The grass is never really greener on the otherside...... IS it ????

I am thinking...Better the devil you know!!!!!!

So much to do

Time of year or me just being unorganised....


so its that time of year again..everyone rushing round getting Xmas pressies....party frocks...nails done ..hair done !!!!
and that's just the kids !!!

And me ..in my wisdom...decide to book a cheeky 7 days away...
And there's more....
I thought as I hadn't already got enough to do....I would just arrange for an interview for a new job!!!!
Oh yes and not forgetting the trial day they want me to do !!!!
Oh my dayzzzz

Wish me luck....
