Paphos and a Sunset Swim

Mixed weather - a tremendous storm overnight, what sounded like an explosion woke us at 2am. I thought Trump was up to no good! Turned out to be ‘just’ thunder and it didn’t last long. Wet still at breakfast but it improved, we went to the archaeological park where the sun shone and we admired the mosaics and sketched the lighthouse. Then we had a quick wander around the harbour but didn’t pay for admission to the castle which is tiny! We went to Mr Steve’s cafe, the sprucker assured us that the somnolent cst on a chair was Mr Steve the fat cat boss! So we had cypriot coffee & hot chocolate and some dips we then walked back to our hotel in the rain. Some planning, reading and downtime and then a sunset swim for me which Mandy kindly volunteered to stay dry and record. Hoping salt water is a miracle cure for scabby skin! The water felt cold but once in it was ok and the air temp was only about 14 degrees so no warmth to help when you got out!Read more
