for the love of Bank Holidays

I dont know how we are going to cope next week; it will be the first full working week sine before christmas! With Friday being the last of the January bank holidays here in Cyprus and the sun returning briefly, we decided to do one of our favourite things - take a walk round old town Nicosia.

I've lost count of how many times we have wandered around the old streets, but the beauty of the old town still amazes me and we never cease to find new routes. People think we are a bit crazy when I say the beauty of the old town. I guess you have to look pretty hard to see it. But its the quirkiness of the area, the history behind the buildings and the character of the streets that I like.

When I grow up, I want a restored, traditional Cypriot townhouse, complete with intricate ironwork, a big heavy wooden door and high ceilings.
