Wow where does time go? In my case spending time with an archaeologist daughter and an unstoppable grand-daughter the answer is nowhere. In the last 10 days we have visited archaeological sites in Kourion (3 sites), Paphos, Nicosia Museum, Soli, Vouni and Salamis.

We have also been to beaches and play-parks and eaten so much kleftico and souvlakia that I have increased my girth considerably more than expected. On my last trip I lost weight - I would suggest that says something about the respective culinary offerings.
One of my self-imposed jobs on this trip was to locate David's grave and sort it out as Jan would want, it had not been moved as I had been told but was still in its original position framed by two palm trees in the full Cyprus sun. I went to the cemetery and cleared away four bags of dead plants and weeds and put on another two bags of stone chippings, I think Jan would have approved of my efforts. I celebrated with a Cyprus mixed sandwich on the seafront watching the world go by.
We had good weather until Kay came out, she brought the rain with her but we had a full day over the north yesterday and the girls have been on Nissi beach all day and have come back toasted, the forecast for the next few days is mixed but it is warmer than the UK so I'm not complaining.
