Wow where has the time gone!!

I'm convinced blogging is all about showing you how fast time rums away with your life !! Anyway, just got back from a fortnight of wonderful weather in Cyprus. 34 degrees every day, and not even a single drop of rain. I love Cyprus now I've had the chance to explore it, and understand how it works. I had been before..with BT back in 2006, but it was only for 4 days, and in May. It was very pleasant then, and I guess it gave me the hunger to go back and explore in more detail. I have a worry that Coral Bay will become the 'Benidorm' in Cyprus. Already the local traders cater almost exclusively for English speaking tourists, and there is no real incentive to pick up a few phrases in Greek, but head up to the Troodos hills and visit villages like Omodhos with it's alleys of lacemaking shops etc. You will still see souvenir shops selling dodgy DVDs, replica guns, and replica perfume.... Who buys this stuff!! but there is also some real cypriot culture on the journey there. My family and I loved it, and will probably go back some other time. As for now, it's nearly the end of my first week back, and I'm shattered... Oh well Xmas is not far away !!!
