We left early and went for a Sunday drive. First for a walk long the beach. It’s now a bit of a mess where they have been laying the water pipe from Turkey, which incidentally they are now arguing about who is going to manage it, Turkey or Cyprus!!

Talking of which we then went on to look at Geçitkőy Reservoir. I wonder if it is such a lovely nature walk as it used to be. If you look closely at the last photo, you can see the water coming through.

From here we went to Kalkanli, to see the olive trees. All the olive trees there are over 500 years old. Very interesting but if you go to see the trees be warned the road is very rocky!

And also explored Çoban cave.

On to Guzelyurt and of course we were in the fruit growing area, lots of dates and pomegranates on the trees but the oranges are green at the moment.

Next on to Lefke and by this time we had enough and so drove back along the coast road.

We were going to stop by the sea for lunch but changed our minds and instead went to Acmenya. David and Kenny and their sisters were in there. Then we realised Chris who used to live up the road and his old neighbour were also eating in there. A little later Tanya and her family came in!!! A popular place. Not surprising as they are still doing their 3 course Sunday lunch for 25tl (£5.50 at today’s exchange rate!!), that is with “help yourself” desserts and coffee and brandy!!!

Back home where we stayed in the pool for a long time as it was such a lovely afternoon.

We then watched the Spurs game 2-2.

Thought for the Day – “Learn to love without condition. Talk without bad intention. Give without any reason and most of all, car for people without any expectation.”
