Duck!

The plan today was to walk one of the trails in the Akamas Peninsula which is a protected area and nearly a national park with signs like this everywhere.

On my way to the picnic site at the start of the trail, I kept seeing men in camouflage clothing in the bushes, at the picnic site itself there were hoards of hunters barbecuing and this was at 10 am. I decided that discretion being the better part of valour I would leave them to it, I did not fancy being peppered with buckshot after being mistaken for a legitimate target whatever that may be.

I went for a quick explore around Latchi which has just about the right amount of tourist development for me, nice restaurants and cafes facing the marina and not an English breakfast or Irish bar in sight, and then I went to Polis which has gone the other way but it is mixed in with what used to be a nice small Cypriot town. This area is definitely worth visiting before it does get overdeveloped.

I settlrd for a Sunday chill session on the patio.
