Stroll In Larnaca

Up at 7.30 and to Startour's service center at nine. We book a trip to Paphos on Wednesday and a wine trip on Saturday. We leave for home Saturday evening and going on a day trip is much better than killing time in Larnaca without a home base from the moment you check out of the hotel.

Cyprus - part II.

Carob tree Local supermarket Construction Blooming front garden near the historical museum

We reach the city centre. We just strayed to the historical museum to visit the nice greengrocer nearby, but it has been replaced by a travel agency. What a shame. We buy some stuff in a small supermarket and then visit Julios, the restaurant in the back yard. A cup of coffee in the shade is nice, and Julios remembers "one without sugar, one medium". After coffee we go home to put some of the groceries in the fridge and then return to Julios for lunch - it is just around the corner.
Lunch at Julios' where Helle befriends a larnacat

We know that lunch must be light if we want to cope with supper at Militzis, and we get a delicious kebab in an open pita-like bread. Really good. The meat rolls seem to be spiced with a touch of cinnamon, and the salad is super-fresh and spiced with chopped parsley. Fresh coriander is popular here, but we prefer the less pungent parsley.

Helle says hello to a larnacat chasing flies. It replies with a feeble teenage voice and stays within reach. With kebab on the table they - Helle and the cat - get on friendly terms very quickly. Kebab + 1 coke + water adds up to £ 5,05 - cheap.

Helle returns to the room and siesta, while I go to the Internet café we saw this morning. The connection is reasonably fast, but I cannot go from one page to another by clicking a link and thus cannot open my webmail. I explain the problem to the girl behind the bar, but she just shrugs indifferently and says that she doesn't know anything about computers. I have no intention to pay two pounds an hour to solve their problem, so I leave and find the Internet café we visited yesterday. I check mail and remember to look up the result of the soccer match between Aalborg and Brøndby back home. Brøndby won 4-0; Helle will not be pleased! Then back home for a late siesta.
