a long limbed visitor

indeed, a few weeks ago Mark squeezed himself into a BA economy seat and hopped over to Cyprus for a long weekend. It's always fun when we have a visitor, not only for the gifts they bring [take note future visitors] but we eat out, we visit places we might not otherwise and we relax more, almost as if we were on holiday on this sunshine island. 

We crammed a lot into 3 days; we saw the best bit of Larnaca [which is a teeny tiny beach bar on a not so great beach - seriously Larnaca is not the place to visit unless you are going to the airport], the old streets of Nicosia and the wonderful food the taverns have to offer, Papifilipou ice cream, the white sandy beaches of Agia Napa which are more family friendly than you would think and the best fish tavern right on the harbour, the bakerys and the most amazing selection of cakes, the best place to relax in Nicosia otherwise known as Eleon Pool, Granny's house although Granny was actually on a cruise in around the Greek Islands....obviously and the gorgeous little Spanish restaurant in old town Nicosia which is so cheap and so tasty, im looking for more excuses to go there! 

And that was that, back on the plane he went, to lovely England. While a longer visit was briefly mentioned, we will see how long it takes me and my brother to align our diaries....im thinking by 2014 we should have some time!
